Home from Hiking!

Hello, i am back! this time i hiked around 8-9 miles, but the first bit was a steep steep incline!
At first there was a lot of rain and sleet, but then the sun came out hooray!
I wont say much else about the hike as i am saving that for when i have the pictures to go with it. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.
Oh when we got back to the car, there was time to nip into the pub and have a nice pint of Old Speckled Hen ( a strong fine ale), that took the chill off!
Unfortunately when i got home i found out my dad still hasn't fixed the radiator problem, so still no water!!!

  3. Speckled Hen, the balm for sore legs.

    If you like that, next time you're in Jockland, look out for McEwans Champion ale. Dark, smooth & so drinkable it will disappear very quickly. And, at over 7.5% so will your ability to walk...

  10. That's a pretty good hike Claire! I used to hike a LOT of miles getting fire crews into shape...as well as myself. Up and down the mountains, over rocks, over logs, etc. No wonder my knees are in bad shape. LOL! Bummer on the rain though.
