And today… well a little something closer to home

Having located our local Trig Point as being just off the A6, close to Wingates Industrial Estate, we set off across the fields to find it.  Which we did.  It’s in fine condition as you can see, even if the other two aren’t.  Easy to find on a footpath in a field directly under a row of telephone wires.

Felt much colder to day than yesterday without the sun, and although much of the snow has disappeared, the lanes presented some challenging conditions, being just sheet ice underfoot.  Anyway we had a nice little trot locally giving us just over 7 miles for the day and that was enough.

Now here’s a question for our pigeon fanciers.  Lots of ducks padding about on the frozen pond as you can see below.  But only the two above with the distinctive black plumage and white faces (I’m sure that’s not the correct way of describing them, but you can see what I mean!)

Looking forward to seeing All UTUP 2nd Jan.  

Happy New Year everybody
