This Morning

A small group consisting of JtE, KLM, TF and yours truly set off from the barn just a few minutes late and headed for Healey Nab.

The majority seemed to be in high spirits and insults were freely exchanged without appearing to cause too much offence. From Healey Nab we proceeded to White Coppice and, in view of the underfoot conditions, decided to eschew the high ground and return via the part completed mill stones above the quarries.

Thence cross country before picking up the tarmac again at Manor Farm before leaving the road again and descending to Lead Mines Clough. Then Alance Bridge and cross country back to base. Just 9 miles (14.5 Ks in KLM speak) and not much climbing.

For the benefit of those unable to attend, and for the further annoyance of those that did, I'll repeat the story of the guy that went to a sale in a prosthetic limb factory just before Christmas and bought a significant number of false legs - he said he just wanted them for stocking fillers.
