Route Map

Today I had a shorter walk in the north, further afield than my usual shorter walks but as I was in the area on business, it seemed a shame not to combine the two. The weather was poor compared to the preceding two days, but needs must! This one is for Fred, he loved it up here and we talked about the area often.
