Good photo, Nightingale. It captures the essence of the Meirionydd hills.
Mr.B. the motorway is a faff ( we drive down from Lancaster every year ) but once at Chester, I just love the 'proper driving on proper roads'.
Emma, had the best part of 4 hours in casualty at RLI this afternoon/evening. No bone damage. I've sprained the medial ligament of my R knee - rest and ice packs plus pain killers. Thanks for the patience that you and Gordon displayed in nursing me back across the final two miles - the joy of dependable friends. I was rather surprised that such a fine fiesty woman should be scared of a ( beef ) bull; I would have been more cautious if he had been a dairy breed. He appeared to be happy enough when we herded him back in the direction of his harem. About 12 months ago, in the rutting season on the moors above Wickersgill, Steve Cliff and I came over a brow and found ourselves between a red deer stag and one of his hinds. The stag became quite threatening until we removed ourselves from the direct line between them and the hind was able to trot straight to him.

Checked the course today in an amazing gale. All is well and the run-in as wet as ever.
