Forestry walk

Another long walk today; Another hill to climb. I no longer get a pain in my chest. Now it is my calf muscles that give me pain during the climb. When I get home it is my knees that hurt.

I guess the calf muscles will become fitter whilst the knees get weaker. Hey ho, you can't win, you can only stave off the inevitable.

Meanwhile I am pleased to offer you this fabulous view which I might add is best viewed large. Pity you can't see it as big as I can. I have reduced it by about a third for this website. It was a sunny afternoon with a bitingly cold wind.

Later when we got home it hailed and then a bit later we got a gritty sort of snow. This was whilst I was draining down our Swift to prevent it freezing up. I have taken a mains feed out to it and have a low heat inside it.

We have been warned to expect snow and temperatures as low as minus 10 centigrade. It could be an interesting walk tomorrow!
