We had a short walk up to Caw this morning – a great little fell with views all around yet you hardly ever see anyone up there. Also, there is news of a new member of the StridingEdge.net team…
At just four weeks old, this little Beardie puppy will soon be joining our household. His name will be Fletcher.
