Seduced by those zeroes of yesteryear (No big deal; most of us passed through the same "momentous" experience.) they decide to erect a plaque. On the plaque it says they erected a plaque. But here's a question. Should someone - justifiably irritated by this blatant waste of money - remove the plaque, will those worthies erect a further plaque saying just that? Such lovable rural circularity.<br /><br /><i>Verb. sap.</i> When I say "I like the plaque" I reserve the right to be read ironically.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-22845335154382732972019-10-06T09:09:22.700+01:002019-10-06T09:09:22.700+01:00JJ - Thanks for that.

It's a good job we could get over on that bridge - if you look at the photo it would have been a bit desperate crossing that stream. There was a way round by going through the farmyard onto a track leading to the road but the farmer had put up a "Privete" notice at the entrance to his farmyard.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-3467963592990092462019-10-06T08:44:39.132+01:002019-10-06T08:44:39.132+01:00An excellent report - I wouldn't expect anythi...An excellent report - I wouldn't expect anything less!<br />' "Bridge closed" - I went first ' made me smile :-)John Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569413172924501491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-12926656226610255332019-10-05T16:29:44.932+01:002019-10-05T16:29:44.932+01:00BC - I think I've fixed it.

I will experiment and hopefully produce better edited ones as I learn.<br /><br />-------------------<br /><br />gimmer - We have both been surprised to find new ground on territory that we thought we knew.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-22051503285502369312019-10-05T14:52:48.836+01:002019-10-05T14:52:48.836+01:00Like your idea of a video but all I get is 'No...Like your idea of a video but all I get is 'Not Available - video is private'.bowlandclimberhttp://bowlandclimber.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-73463882748906280612019-10-05T14:49:57.812+01:002019-10-05T14:49:57.812+01:00That is a very unusual view of the Scafells, taken...That is a very unusual view of the Scafells, taken from a good view point and such a distance: when running down the M6 towards 'Junction 36', one can often see the whole panorama of the central mountains - the Pikes clearly recognisable, of course, but I think the Scafells must be lost behind the bulk of the Coniston and upper Langdale fells: they must 'emerge' from further south and higher up - though not from the motorway, I guess. <br />These north Lancs. walks do seem to run through a delightful and varied countryside - who'd have thought it !<br />gimmernoreply@blogger.com
