Weather - my short break last week involved rain, and there was no pot of gold by that fencepost

Beautiful morning up here , so was up and out with Sprocket ( our Springer Spaniel) for 6.30am went over to Silton Woods, not that far from Thirsk, Still glorious when we got there around sevenish, by half eight I had, had enough my Bo ks were freezing, you may ask why. Simple answer be prepared just had on some shorts and a tea shirt and the Bloody weather turned freezing just as we got to the half way pointy of our walk and its been like that all day.

EYorkshire - very nice, but a bit flat for my taste.

Nice photo

Here is one of mine, taken on the iPhone sort of captured the sun setting over a big hill in the lakes

We weren't to far from the hills/mountains, centre to right of the picture were the 'Cheviots' blotted out by the rain. My wife finished the final leg of the 'Southern Upland Way' from Moffat to Lauder, this one's above St Mary's Loch, a little bit hillier

Glen Nevis on Friday, looking toward "the Ben" great weather

The awning needs to be full size just to fit in the kids stuff, never actually ate in it this week away either  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Dunroof, yep, Steall Falls



Emjoyed the Ben a few years back, went over the arete though and certainly much slower.

Was that Curley's Arete? The Slab is always a good one!

No, it was the CMD arete, scrambling, you sound more like a true climber, more bottle than me if you are
I had a lucky escape on sharp edge a few years back, can't go over a ridge now, hanging by your jacket over a few hundred feet drop certainly concentrates the mind.
Stick to flat (ish) stuff these days, although a few more munroes will be done
