Let There be Heat!

Just checked thermostat in hallway and we’re up to 7 degrees – Hurrah!  Another hour and it could be warm enough to risk a shower.  Went out yesterday to escape the ice house and get warm catching the sunset on Winter Hill, and as I said, you never know who or what you’re gonna come across.  Check out these guys having fun in the sun.

Apparently they had been airborne earlier, but the wind had dropped and they were having trouble finding the thermals – I did mention we had several pairs on the go at home but we seemed to be at cross purposes somewhat.

This look familiar Nic’O and JtE?

Hope you’re soon able to tunnel your way out Nic’O and MrK but that you’re snug and warm in the meantime. 

Some good suggestions JtE for Saturday.  Given the forecast for the next week may be safer to meet UP rather than risk trying to get to Belmont en masse.  Good idea about practising the route Back’O’ Belmont ‘though.  I’m sure we could incorporate that section without committing ourselves to the Tower of Terror!  15 minimum wouldn’t you say?
