Went exploring the day after running Borrowdale. Kind of when over the tops following a really cool wall and then veered up a gulley, over Tarn at Leaves and then down a precipitous gradient on the other side. Anyway, found a really great wood with a waterfall and decided to leave an offering of Herdwick.

Fleece and Skiddaw

There is something alluring about the sight of these strands of fleece that hang around fields. They give me ideas... and we all know that that is DANGEROUS!. Cant wait to get over to the lakes, and i only came back yesterday.

Viva Catalunya!

A bit of Catalanism going on here - wool, flag and the newly replaced columns.

I had just finished reading a book on the Spanish Civil War and ran the Marato on Sunday...
