Also, this time, we found our way from Tetton Park into the wood no problem but managed to get slightly lost trying to get out of the same wood! I also feel I am better with a map in my hand than with a satnav on my dashboard.Francisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268065087325312482.post-82167609577744764932014-05-16T11:04:51.387+01:002014-05-16T11:04:51.387+01:00The very same thought had occurred to me.

I was behind due to taking photos of calves and the distant view of Cothelstone Hill - which didn't look very exciting as photos. <br />Cothelstone HIll reminds me of Cottleston Pie, a rhyme of Winnie the Pooh, which I have been reading lately. It's in the story about Eeyore's birthday.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653699468485272535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268065087325312482.post-36314328162557767682014-05-14T22:09:17.149+01:002014-05-14T22:09:17.149+01:00Another lovely walk and I was genuinely pleased to...Another lovely walk and I was genuinely pleased to be up in the hills again although was not too happy slogging up Ball Lane. You've got that pleasure to come! Having said that, the two days crossing the Levels were very enjoyable with plenty of variation to keep the interest - well, after the 6km slog along the Parrott at least.<br /><br />We actually stayed outside the Rising Sun at West Bagborough as, being now a gastopub, it was a little posh inside for us, even though Mr. Mud was not with us!Francisnoreply@blogger.com
