    Weasel running across Manchester Road just outside Buxton last night. It was holding its head quite high, so it might have been carrying a small mouse or something - we weren't close enough to see.

    Oh yeah, I've just remembered. And a red deer near Flash Bottom.

    There are some funny place names round us. It's just a shame there isn't a place between Flash and Wincle called Flash Wincle.

    Flash Wincle. Noel, you've just inadvertently provided the name of the lead character in the book I must now write... ' The Adventures of Flash Wincle '.

    Village near Hathersage called 'Shatton' which I always have a good giggle about.

    Anyway, saw a very large and very injured Hare last night on a trog. Looked like it had been attacked by a dog or fox and escaped. That's the second one in about six weeks. Went back with a box with the intention of taking it to the wild animal rescue place but it had beggared off by then...

    Running today above Merens la Vals and we stumbled across a couple of naked people lounging in a natural sulphur pool next to the GR10 path.

    Our run over the fells around the head of Mardale last night was enriched by spotting a fox between Wet Sleddale and Haweswater on the journey there and a gorgeous red deer hind by the roadside near the dam. It remained quite unconcerned by our presence and continued grazing just 5 or 6 metres away. Splendid sight.
