......afoot - thanks.So far we are unscathed but...<br /><br />...there is a large semi dead ash tree at the top of my road on the verge owned by the local authority. I much fear the tree falling onto my parked car below and have had lots of correspondence with the local authority requesting them to sort it. At the last count about six months ago they said it had been put on the list for the next financial year, so I suppose I will have to keep my fingers crossed until after April. I did move the car to a safer location during Eunice.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-83739459887302187452022-02-19T09:08:04.904+00:002022-02-19T09:08:04.904+00:00Your enthusiasm for these hills certainly shines t...Your enthusiasm for these hills certainly shines through, but of course that isn't an unknown characteristic of your writings! Some lovely photographs to go with it too.

I am looking forward to doing some walks by driving north rather than south, and also based on selection for quality, curiosity and the search for new ground. With a campaign like the trigs one is dictated to and forced to take the mediocre along with the quality. Having said that this campaign has been worthwhile and quite an eye opener.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-77417364278645645922022-02-12T17:40:54.800+00:002022-02-12T17:40:54.800+00:00With this being the penultimate outing of this cam...With this being the penultimate outing of this campaign, do you have a new project waiting in the wings? I'm imaginging (but quite possibly incorrectly) that you've now visited all trig points within a reasonable travel distance of home?Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-70709298558341709392022-02-11T16:21:33.031+00:002022-02-11T16:21:33.031+00:00BC - I reckon it was somewhere around 11:00 am whe...BC - I reckon it was somewhere around 11:00 am when I was up at the summit. You were right about not tackling this along with the other trig further up the Trough on the same day. It would have been a long hard day.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-34501566560395715032022-02-11T04:58:02.589+00:002022-02-11T04:58:02.589+00:00I was out on one of my gentle walks in Chipping Va...I was out on one of my gentle walks in Chipping Vale on Wednesday and stopped to chat to a couple I’ve known for years. She was awaiting an artificial knee operation with some trepidation. I was able to give her some reassurance by telling her of your exploits after similar surgery. To emphasise the point I included your present OS trig points venture. Looking up at the skyline I said you were probably up there on Totridge Fell at that very moment, taking advantage of the good weather. If only I had had some powerful binoculars.<br />The story of Bill Smith is well known amongst my fell running and walking friends in Longridge.<br />I know that Land Rover track you were trying to reach and the wild surroundings of Hareden Beck. That subsequent sit down and cup of coffee must have been a sweet reward.<br />Bring on Crookrise.<br />bowlandclimberhttp://bowlandclimber.comnoreply@blogger.com
