Mating Mallards and Malham
Apart from the wind not reading the weather forecast and the sun forgetting to shine for the much anticipated whole day, it's been awesome! I even had beans in my legs to carry me over the Cow and Calf. That's distinctly different to how I felt on my trip to Kettlewell the other week. Thankfully, the sun made an appearance over the tops, as it warmed the place up just a little, and I made time for a few photo stops.
I broke my land speed record when I turned left over the moors which was much appreciated after the effort I'd had to put in to get there into the headwind. If I'd had sails, I might have taken off.
Dry oatcakes and cheese nowhere near matched a cheese toastie and coffee but I forced them down while watching mallards mating at the duckpond in Rhylstone - very sweet ritual, actually. Full winter kit was back on and most welcome. Mustn't forget it's still February! I felt very lucky indeed to be out.
