Intermission and Apportionment of Responsibility
Yet another of one of those long gaps is now about to happen during which most of my readers disappear. This time I'm off to Wales to bag Berwyns and other stuff near Y Bala
First of all, I’d just like to remind peeps about the competition. There’s not been many entries. the prize is a merino wool buff. Its very nice. if nobody wins it, I get it. All you have to do, folks, is send me a message with the name of a Yorkshire Dales 610 metre high hill on it. Its not rocket science. You might win – gwan give it a try. To win, the hill name must be the one that I intend to do last in my series of Yorkshire Dales hills since October last year. There’s only two left – this is a strong clue – it’s a hill which is close to another one. And it’s in Yorkshire. A comment on this post, or the other one, will do nicely. In the meantime, the video below provides a nice scapegoat for the damage to Alan Sloman’s digits.
I am a retired NHS Personnel person. All I do nowadays is walk about.I used to have my pet dog Bruno with me, (in the front page pic). he was Superdawg but he died. Then my new dog Lucky The Dog who also died and now I have Ringo the daft Border Collie.
