Beda fell summit

GIVE ME FREEDOM GIVE ME TIME
GIVE ME HEALTH TO WALK AND CLIMB
TO SMELL THE HEATHER, PEAT AND THYME
AND I'M A MILLIONAIRE

GIVE ME MOORLAND SPACE AND SMELL
A PARADISE WHERE MEN MAY DWELL
TO TRAMP THROUGH DEW, TO SIT A SPELL
AND I'M A MILLIONAIRE.

LET ME SEE THE PLOVER'S NEST
LET ME GAZE TO EAST OR WEST
IN SPARKLING POOL OR HILL'S HIGH CREST
AND I'M A MILLIONAIRE

LET ME HEAR THE CURLEW'S SONG
AND LEAVE BEHIND THE MADDENING THRONG
THE OUTDOORS IS WHERE I BELONG
AND I'M A MILLIONAIRE

IN SUN OR SLEET, THRU' MIST OR SNOW
ACROSS MY LAND OF PEACE I GO
WITH MEASURED TREAD, NOT FAST OR SLOW
AND I'M A MILLIONAIRE

THE WORLD OF NATURE BECKONS ME
TO SHARE IN HER GREAT MYSTERY
TO FEEL, TO SMELL, TO TOUCH, TO SEE
AND I'M A MILLIONAIRE

Joan Allen

IT WAS A GOOD WALK TODAY WITH A GRAND GROUP OF PEOPLE.

FROM BROTHERS WATER UP TO BOREDALE HAUSE. OVER BEDA FELL. BACK ALONG THE VALLEY OF BOREDALE BACK TO THE HAUSE AND DOWN TO THE CAR VIA HARTSOP. A PLEASANT HOUR IN THE WATERMILL AT INGS AND A PINT OF 'COLLIE WOBBLES' A LOCAL BREW, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
