Wow, what a scorching weekend it has been and today continued in the same way. So it was sun cream on and plenty of drinks for the climb to Lingmoor Fell, the diminutive fell with the XL views!

I came across this sheep stuck in a bog - the poor thing couldn't move so I did my good deed for the day and hauled it out. It is amazing how heavy sheep are when laden with mud and water and I think it must have been there for quite a while as it couldn't walk for a good 10 minutes or so. You can imagine what Casper and Dougal thought of me fraternising with the 'enemy'!
