BuzyG I've started getting up at 4 AM so I can get my runs in at 5 before it gets warmer in the summer.

Anyway I went up Latrigg with my girlfriend yesterday and she loved it. Hoping I can find more fells suitable for her, but if not we will do other types of walks instead of going round town all the time now the government has relaxed lockdown restrictions.

It really bought back the adventure I felt the first time I went up. it was my first fell, one of these days I'll run up it. Hoping to find more suitable walks in the meantime.

Hope you are all well.

4AM. :o   I'll leave the morning watch to the birds.  I'm more of a last dog jogger. ;)

Of to Flamborough tomorrow for a coastal stroll and a bit of bird watching.  Really looking forward to it.   :D

Well it doesn't happen often, but I have not walked that stretch of SWCP ever.  Surprising, as we have friends who stay in the little holiday park just the other side of the Cove. 


Naturally I have surfed there,  ;)  The day someone post up a decent cove that I have not surfed in Cornwall the hat gets eaten.  ;D

I have saved you the bother.
Have you surfed Nichols Cove near Porthleven?

Well I had never heard it called that.  However the answer would be yesish, or certainly the area to the west of the harbour wall where all the emits and locals enjoy dropping in on one another.   I climbed the cliffs at Trewavas head last year too. Now that was a good day out. O0   


I have a niece who lives in Porthleven, it was always a good excuse to head down that way when I used to surf

Just had a stroll to the chiropodist (opened beginning of June).  Bounced my way home in the sunshine on new tootsies.  Lovely local walk along the Havenside  :)

I'm just back home after another marvellous walk with Beefy and Squeaky down their neck of the woods. 11 and a half miles of such wonderful variety, we had a bit of everything, waterfalls, moorland, canals, reservoirs, hills, gritstone edges, rhododendrons, paragliders, packhorse bridges, tremendous  O0

Lovely scenic route walk to the shops.  Bumped into loads of people from our WI and had a reet good natter.


And that folks is the REAL reason why a 2 mile walk takes me 2 hours  ;D


Flippin' 'eck though, its warm out there  :o

Got our sights set on Blencathra today, but it will be a real scorcher, so sunhats, sun cream and gallons of water!

Didn't manage Blencathra.

After climbing up to Bowscale Tarn (lovely) and then on to Bowscale Fell, a unanimous decision was made to wimp out because of the heat. Returned over the top of Bannerdale Crags and down a steep ridge past some old mine workings to the east (on April's Banned List, I suspect), then back down the valley of the River Glenderamakin (lovely name - almost as good as Glenderaterra on the other side of Blencathra) to the car at Mungrisdale. Home to cold beer in a shady garden!

7 miles ish in about 5 hours.  ;)


PS - so hot that when we reached the Glenderamakin I did the cowboy thing of filling my sun hat with water and then putting it on my head. Delicious agony.
