It was a lot colder today than it has been during the rest of November, a real shock to the system but with the cold weather came clear skies.
Connie came home this weekend as a surprise visit from Manchester and really wanted to get out for a walk to her favourite fell, Gummer’s How, so how could I resist that one? It really was fantastic conditions up there today with a biting wind on the top. There was a long procession of people going that way as well such is its popularity and of course it is a relatively easy walk. Great to get the old team together once more!

The nearest Connie got to sitting on the column today over 16 years later!

Connie with Dougal and Fletcher at the same place - almost impossible to get all three to look in the right direction at once/smile/open eyes etc!

Great to have you back again! I’ve so missed seeing your walks. Although Lesley and I made it to Hawkshead for our usual fortnight in June and October my walking was curtailed with a hernia. Just got it sorted in hospital and now hopefully will be ready to go again on our usual New Year break and get in some good walks again. Lots planned for the New Year!
Sean says
Thanks John, good to be back and hopefully you will be soon too!
