Life is full of surprises

Today's walk was along the ridge of the Howgills. The views were clear and far. The sun shone and the light breeze was pleasant.

We had our picnic lunch at the trig point on The Calf.

Just before our descent into Sedbergh we met this group. Border collies, yes, but these little panting pooches, no. There was a mother and three children plus three unrelated dogs. The owner had tried breeding nut then could not let the puppies go....

Aggie and Arthur were on their best behaviour. My feet, obviously soft from months of relative inactivity, blistered. Any advice on toughening them up gratefully received!
