I should have remembered to be a bit careful running with my top off in the north east - two different lady walkers with distinct geordie accents got more than a bit raunchy with me as I ran past. Nothing to get too excited about mind as they were both tapping on a bit :D

In fact I loved all of the moors and heather and woods and, if you ignore the fabulous views, the actual ridge run over Simonside was a little less exciting what with most of it being slabbed. Great place though Frecks and thanks for the recommendationQuote:

Beautiful photies as ever, gosh that dog has got a canny life! :-)
Nice pics Stolly :) How did deputy dawg get on with the Herdwicks ?
Harry is getting on pretty well with sheep, all things considered, especially on the tops where he only comes across them in dribs and drabs. If we're running along, most of the time he will ignore any passing sheep completely but occasionally he will do a short gallivant but soon lose interest. Funnily enough if, for what ever reason, we stop running, like on Sunday to take the odd picture or ironically to give him a breather, Harry can then have too much time to think (and come up with devious schemes) and will suddenly shoot off, having seen a sheep in need of chasing. Not stopping in the first place or slipping his lead on usually sorts that out though :)Quote:
