Weather: Breezy, cold on top, 12°C

Today was another chance for Fletcher to get out on to the fells, this time on something a little more rugged than previously. Middle Fell is a fantastic walk with great views yet not too long for the youngster. I must say he carried it off with aplomb and I am pleased to report he absolutely loved it. He was fine off the lead, only needed a couple of check words to stay away from the sheep and when we got to the top the pair of them were running around barking madly and playing games. Nice one Fletch!
