Christmas was a time of full on flu for FSS and with me just recovering from the same, our walking boots have not seen as much action for a long time, as running was out of the question. Very enjoyable it was ‘though and gave us the time to stop and stare and put the world to rights on our outings on the paths and tracks from our front door.
This rather handsome beast was so disappointed when we left him that he took to head butting the fence post… extraordinary behaviour
A couple of fields later another bunch of curious critters appeared, perhaps thinking we had some tasty treats for them. Below some random snow scenes over the Christmas hols.
Family Christmas, complete with snow scenes… lovely. Well at least one of my boys knows when to strike a pose :) 
This little church is older than me, quite a vintage then, my Dad bought it the Christmas before I arrived in January and it ‘s been on show every Christmas since. Don’t know what I’ll do when the bulb needs changing! Don’t think you can buy this kind any more.
Sunday 2nd Jan and we were both well enough to join Lostock for their New Year’s run, where Haggis was served at the Two Lads. Above setting off from Top Barn, and below at the Pike.
Snow gone now from Borsdane Wood revealing a small clutch of copper beech amongst the fallen leaves.
Finally, on Monday a short outing saw us out and about over Winter Hill. Making our way up to Two Lads a runner with a familiar gait was on his way down, we were delighted to see EYJ, who was out on a recovery run of his own having taken a very nasty fall on the ramp the previous week. Speedy recovery EYJ and let’s hope you’re fully recovered for Winter Hill FR.
Sending out Happy Birthday Wishes to Nic’O and hoping the foot recovers well enough to re-join the Saturday boys and girls
Out with Rucksack Club this Saturday. Annual Marsden to Edale outing over Kinder, Bleaklow, Black Hill etc about 25 miles for me. However there is a strong tradition of doubling and this is what FSS will be doing, setting off at 10.00pm Friday night from Marsden to Edale and then back again with those of us just making the one crossing – great fun.
