Monday's sun is full in the face, Tuesday's sun is blown away, Wednesday's sun is here and there, I hope Thursdays sun is gonna make skin bare. That's cos we're out again tomorrow. Apparently I am going up a fell peak on a Rolls Royce of walks. But what have I been doing until now?

| Hadrian's Wall |
Well, on Monday, I got the sun full in the face, and did very little. Tuesday, me and himself went up to Hadrian's Wall and had a little wander. Actually it was 8 miles of wandering. As usual, I loved it. The sun was out, but so was the wind, which was bitterly cold. I am pleased to say that not only did I see the remains of Hadrian's Wall, Housestead Fort, 38 and 39 MileCastle and a turret or two, but I also used my binoculars and camera and managed to see loads of wheatears, a Canada Goose on one of the little lakes, and skylarks, which were everywhere. I really really love our countryside. I also managed to recognise marsh marigolds. Clever me.

| Ayesgarth Middle Falls |
So that was Tuesday. Today, we went to test another walk for work. I thought I'd be tired after yesterday, but actually, I was absolutely fine, so today we walked from Carperby to Ayesgarth Falls and back to Carperby on a circular route. It was only 4 miles, but as usual, we were taking pictures of everything, and I was trying to see stuff through me binoculars, so we took about 3 hours to do it. Well worth it though, cos I got to see some more lapwings, and curlews, and the swallows were out, and of course, the 3 falls at Ayesgarth are stunning.
We went on from there through various fields. past a couple of farms and here and there a bit. I enjoyed it, but a couple of the stiles were a bit difficult, as were some of the places we walked. So I am not entirely sure it would be right for them at work. But it was good, and I love seeing new bits of the countryside.
Tomorrow we are going up Helm Crag. Oooer!
