Sanity can be regained by climbing the grindsbrook.






Me looking good at the top of the grindsbrook. Havoing just yomped up it with the horse on may 18th this year. It was windy and the rain was horizontal from the south west.








Heres the horse and the pig


We look good on the top of Kinder Scout I think. It feels like hom. At the end of the day we were running low on sunlight so we cut straight across the top fgrom the seal stones. Mr OOfy chased a hair down but he don't know how to kill stuff so he just cornered it and put the willies up it. Never seen a dog move so fast! Magnificent.







Here is Mr Oofy looking a tad cold.


you may wonder why i am putting these lovely pictures up? Whats the angle? Why is scum being nice? Well, i am afraid that i am building up to a photo sequence concerning my irritable bowels. I have to live with th indignity of it so i don't see why anyone else shouldn't hasve to suffer a modicum of discomfort.

Hi Dok,

Whereabouts in the country are these places where you like walking and climbing. My guess would be Derbyshire but I know sod all about this kind of thing.

How's your work situation these days? I hope things are better than they were.

Work is cool! Got sort of head hunted by another academic who i will work for next year and thereby qualify for redundancy payments. so the tension between me and my current boss has eased which is nice. Hurrah! Everyone is happy! I even get to supervise a bunch of PhD students. Hurrah!

I have promised not to touch any of them. Even the firm ones.

Love it up there Skum. It is wonderful. On a hot day it is divine but on a windy day it is even better. Nice to see you looking happy and relaxed.
