Other moons are available, of course.<br />I suspect an early release of a ram, Alan. Ive seen this happen before. It only takes a minute, apparently.

The one on the left looks distinctly "Damien Hirst"<br />I am beginning to suspect that you don't actually do all these walks, and, like the American moon landings, it's all mocked-up(the "m" is important here)in an empty hangar at Catterick.<br />This may, of course, be the product of my fertile imagination, as I am full of, well, fertiliser.Oldmortalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828967124865650752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-44685826161369342882011-02-24T21:54:08.788+00:002011-02-24T21:54:08.788+00:00Give yourself at least an hour for the Eycotts, Al...Give yourself at least an hour for the Eycotts, Al!<br />I suspect that only Birkett baggers and locals go up these hills.<br />I couldn't photograph Blencathra cos thats whee the sun was - an early morning walk in summer might be better for views.Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-38709108878816085122011-02-24T21:41:24.832+00:002011-02-24T21:41:24.832+00:00I've not been up/on either of these small hill...I've not been up/on either of these small hills, although I have driven past em often enough! and me a cumbrian an' all, I should be ashamed of myself.
