On Sunday we did a local walk. The weather forecast was for drizzle for a while but it ended up being a great day for weather. No rain, a bit cloudy with a few bright spells and quite mild. We got the bus to Hayton Lane End and walked toward Low Gelt Bridge.

Lady
She was enjoying the walk today more than yesterdays wash out. She kept whining at us because we were either stopping to take photos or were going to slow for her
The trees were fabulous and we took lots of photos

A woman we met on the way said "Hello Squeaky" to Lady. Referring to the whining noises she was making. "Do you need oiling?" she said
We have renamed Lady. She is now Squeaky
The only thing that spoils this walk is the road walking between Middle Gelt and Farlam.

We'd stopped for some lunch on one of the benches near Talkin Village. We were pleased when we reached Farlam and the footpath to Talkin Tarn, 3 miles on the road it is. There wasn't a lot of traffic being Sunday and it isn't bad really but I wish there was a footpath or two in between Middle Gelt and Farlam.

What a great walk, autumn is a wonderful time of year. Our route was Hayton Lane End to Low Gelt Bridge - Middle Gelt Bridge - Talkin - Farlam - Talkin Tarn - Brampton Railway Station - old railway line - Brampton. 15.3km 200m ascent. We were all tired out, Squeaky especially, she'd stopped squeaking by the time we got to Talkin Tarn
