I regard the photo’s as my property, that I want to share with BCUK,
but finding I can’t access them, because of “restricted access,” I’ve transferred them to where I can
thanks for your time Danny.

Consulted Teddy's Fir cone and piece of Seaweed this morning, and packed the haversack, had to drop Brenda off at the hairdressers at 10:30 for a Blue rinse :yikes: OoUups! I mean a wash and trim, when I start looking for a comb I go and have a No.2. I’ve passed the Limestone bit that juts up between the M6 and the A65 countless times, but I’m either going or coming back from somewhere, today was the day, and it should have been sooner ! Turned left just after the bridge at Kirby Lonsdale with the sign pointing to Hutton Roof I’m glad I never met a Joshkin pulling a muck spreader as there was over 3 miles of road with higher hedges than its width and with a strip of grass down the middle

I went through Hutton Roof turned left then left again up a steep hill and parked by the side of the road between the 182 and 192 http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepa...527063&lon=-2.699909673444598&gz=14&oz=7&gt=1 and set off over Newbiggin Crags heading for Farleton Fell with for a change Inglebourgh behind me

and the Howgill Fells to the right

it was a steady climb in-between plateaus but then Disaster Struck !

Look Away Now


A Great White Shark attacked Teddy

It was touch and go

I carried on and up with the Lake district coming into view and the cairn on Farleton Fell coming into view

When I got to the cairn Teddy was already there !

with a pile of Sharkskin wallets

Looking at the Lake district from the cairn

and over Arnside Knott to Grange over Sands

Grange over Sands

Coffee drip brewing, steak on, homemade bread with bed of water cress waiting, red pepper chopped, and a glass of 2007 Campo Viejo Rioja

So I’m there in the sun having my dinner and ( I’m a bit deaf at the best of times, I put it down to all the Hawkwind concerts in the 70 and 80’s) there’s an annoying rumbling drone in the background then I find it

It’s the M6 heading to Lancaster in all the murk and fog ! I think of Melonfish and Shewie down there somewhere breathing it all in, and have another sip of wine !
I pack up the camp, and as usual leave a pile of crumbs and scraps as an offering, looking back at the first rise they’re being eaten

I wandered back in the general direction of the van just learning a new landscape. Lots of erratic's about

and trees

and more erratic’s

and trees

It was back to the van and rather than the narrow roads I headed for Burton in Lonsdale before turning off for Kirby Lonsdale stopping to photograph the sunset against a Lebanon Cedar ?

Well I’ve never been here before and there’s lots to explore I never went over the road from where I parked onto Hutton Roof Crags ! Watch this space I’ll be back.
just thought I’d share cheers all Danny
p.s Melonfish send your subscription, in small used notes, to Teddy

Danny,
The stones you're calling "erratics." Were they placed by prehistoric people or some big boys after a case of beer? I think a donkey would be a nice addition to your kit.

No in the last (of several ice ages) the ice was over a mile thick so these were just pebbles to be pushed about and dumpt when the ice melted only 12,000 years ago. I might start an erratics I have known thread ? We've always fancied a donkey as a pack carrier, pity you can't take the batterys out when you get back home !
cheers Danny
