The Dales......

Even better, the Dales without Adrian fricking Edmondson!!!

Two grand runs Gromit. On Saturday from Kettlewell (in Upper Wharfedale) running a 16 mile loop over Great Whernside, Buckden Pike and Firth Fell with Hazzer and, on Sunday, a 11 mile there-and-backer up the Pennine Way out of Hawes (in Wendsleydale) to the top of Great Shunner Fell with Hezzer and Hazzer. A grand range of weather too - cold cold wind, hill fog, driving rain, sunshine and, best of all, plenty of mud and and sloshy water to slog through.

Cairns half way up Great Whernside

Great Whernside trig (oh and Harry of course)

The ground 'took a stud'

The 'mooooouuurs' as Hester's Scottish friend Ann on Lewis would say in a very sing song Scottish brogue

Buckden Pike and its absolutely hammering down

And now the sun's out. Huh!

Kettlewell with now a completely clear Great Whernside beyond
