Some swine lurking around perhaps :o No just a touch of man flu, so I've had to sit and watch the golf all day long - never mind eh. O0
Well, it's getting a bit critical now, innit? I'm scared witless, TBH. Not for me - couldn't give a toss - but if my son gets it I'll be devastated.

You should keep an eye on it.

I've got swine flu. It's the birthday of one of my colleagues today and he brought in a huuuge chocolate gateau for us all. Needless to say I made a right pig of myself! ;D

Uh, yes, that is my coat actually. The door's that way? Oh, OK. Thanks...

Looks like you got lucky with the weather, it's a great walk along there.

My sisters a nurse and they have been advised to stock up on canned food and non perishables..............makes you wonder what they think is coming.

I'm packing my tent and heading for the hills!

Just a few of my photo's of the day:


You see that over there? That's Jockland, that is!


Graham and Pete.


Blencathra.


These guys just don't seem to have got the hang of posing for a photo...


Keswick and Skiddaw.


Pete taking a rest.


Posing for the camera. Well, two of them are anyway... ;D


Ullswater.


Helvellyn with Catstye Cam and Swirral Edge in view.


Two happy fell walkers!


Catstye Cam and Swirral Edge.


Red Tarn and Striding Edge.


Graham, I apologise in advance, but I just couldn't resist posting this one! You see, Graham very kindly offered to take a photo of me on the summit of Helvellyn with my camera. Nice shot, but yes, that is the camera strap in front of the lens! ;D


Grisedale Tarn and Fairfield.


Stopping to take photo's of the waterfalls as we descend Raise Beck.


The falls.


The pass of Dunmail Raise and Thirlmere reservoir.

I prefer the east side and if you are just doing Helvellyn then my advice would be to go up across Swirral Edge.
