ev...well well, no comments yet<br />may i break the duck<br />everyone (and I mean everyone) who lives or stays in Grange is by law forced to climb up to THE Hospice (not even question if there is another one) and climb the exterior polished 'step'-case without holding on to the rail and then after freezing to death looking at the 360 degree views, descend the same steps, again without using the rails. <br />And then to look inside and read out loud the improving texts within. <br />And then walk the length of the knife-edge ridge of Hampsfell to descend either to Cartmel for a pint or Grange for a cup of tea. <br />At least once in their life.<br />Some do it every day. With no thought of reward - such as tickling their Wainrights .<br />So I am amazed that a convicted Knott raiding recidivist such as yourself has not previously been frog-marched to the top of the Hospice long ago. So well done - it is best with snow and ice and -10 C/50mph NE winds - see you up there next time such conditions prevail!gimmernoreply@blogger.com
