It’s getting better all the time… but not quite there yet. There’s going to have to be some more blood tests I think.
In the meantime, I’ve been bashing away tring to get my mileage back up to something reasonable.
These are the efforts so far – all walks/hobbles in the company of Lucky The Dog.
10 August 2 miles on Hedleyhope Fell : – couldn’t walk after this (dhuhh!)
13 August 2 more miles on Heldeyhope Fell with Mrs Pieman
14 August 3 miles to Howden-le-Wear and back. Found a wild apple tree (wild? it was furious…. I pinched some apples and used them for apple sauce a few days later)
15 August 7 miles at Druridge Bay with Dawn. No contours to speak of. Walkhighlands optimistic estimate of 80 feet of ascent. Had a dip too…
16 August 5 Miles around Crook and Roddymoor. Ate many blackberries.
17 August 8 Miles from Silverdale with me Bruvver. Also 1000 feet of contours. Some difficulties with high step-ups (no scrambling yet, then) and downhill over rough ground.
Anyway, we’re off for a couple of days in Swaledale just now. Hopefully, I wont be requiring a rescue….

Tha's da'ing good Mike.
Glad to hear the knee is getting better!
The peep-hole on the knee thing looks interesting.
That looks like a "proper" dog. I used to have a characterful Springer.
If you're ever in Arnside/Silverdale again you (and the hound) would be welcome for a brew if I'm about. Let me have an email address and I will send you contact details.
I'm sure the blackberries will help. Pebbles swears by them.
Just don't talk of contours. I never do and it's always stood me in good stead. Or stead me in good stood. One or the other.
