Another rainy Wednesday

When wednesday came around again, it did what it's been doing for the last month or so....Rain! So after much thinking (cough) we thought we'd go on a walk instead. logic: we would have got moist climbing (still raining), so why not get completely soaked on a walk?? And so we rounded up as many as were sane enough to come/ not going off to see some bird, n headed off for a river.

Not looking so good.

Half an hour to walk down to the van, from Higgar Tor might not seem that hard, but thats on paths. We followed nature's paths!!

point of no return

bit deep

the post van!

soooo heavy

Cookie that reeked really bad of wet dog and kept on trying to escape from the van at speed, soon to be using a seatbelt to stop his escapades!

Anyway, it was a really quick way to make holes in leather boots! Maybe we'll leave it for the intro weekend another time..

derwent watershed

i know we haven't posted for a while we have been up to stuff just nothing worth blogging about!! but heres some pictures from our attempt at the derwent watershed, also known as the high peak marathon. although we did not complete the walk a great time was had by all we managed to walk about 22/23 miles and escaped at reapes farm. hopefully we will be back to try again and hopefully complete the full distance but for the time being here are a few pictures!
