This Morning

Just three of us toed the line this morning, TF, YJ and yours truly.

With a view to preserving her energy for an evening orienteering event, TF dropped off after the Pike leaving the Swift Bros heading for Two Lads. Soon after the dog kennels we were joined by Dennis W and his Bernese Mountain dog, Murphy. Dennis turned for home on the way down, leaving us to head for the mast.

Slight concern approaching the building as we saw a man lying in the  road, and wondered why his companions were ignoring him. On closer inspection it turned out that they were all birders, watching another snow bunting, whilst the guy in the road was photographing it.

Then the trig point, wooden bridge, down through the gardens, a wide loop through the park (to make sure we clocked a full eight miles) and back to the barn.  A gentle outing, which got YJ back in time for his 12:15 cross country marshalling duties on Astley Park.
