Get Up and Go (To Buttermere
This is me off to Buttermere for some walking about, some eating, some drinking and some TGO 2013 route planning. I have maps, I have er... thingy and I have the will to implement it, whatever it is.
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.
Be proud.
