Late night mooch around Happy Valley and Farthing Downs after a hot day at Ray’s parents.

From the campsite we are staying at, over some fields And along some of the North Downs Way to a village which had s a ludicrously good pizzeria then home. Good after a long day in the van.

Run with Loz up the path that I tripped on the other day. Nearly got to the top of Gowbarrow but it was taking too long and I was worried that B would be getting all grumpy on Fran so we turned back and took a route back to the campsite, lost the path after a bit, ploughed through some rough but got back eventually. Loz is definitely better than me on good surfaces but it’s closer on the rough stuff.

Day at the lake. Jen did her usual pro bonfire and sausages etc as Fran, the kids and I just marveled at her skills.

Camping with Fran near Ullswater. This was a nice walk around Gowbarrow fell / Aria Falls from the campsite. Then to a beer garden and home. With Bertie in the rucksack the whole way. He wasn’t heavy but the rest of the stuff was, esp the drinks so pleased I managed ok.

We are in the lakes (me and the kids). Fran and her kids. Yay!
Went running with Laurence. Yay!
Fell over badly. Boo!
Lots of cuts. Boo!
Ended the stumble with my face in a stream. Boo!

Walk / ran back, all bloody. :-(

AS handicap

Stuffed the descent from Whinny and Dunsapie. I’ll learn at some point. OK time though. It’s going to hurt tomorrow.
