Saturday 17th Jan

Four of us out this morning, more than of late. The ground was covered in a mix of hail and snow, and the depth was never deep, but increased slightly with height.

We all set off for White Coppice and, having achieved that objective, we let YJ do his Duracell Bunny thing as he headed off through the forestry towards Brinscall, aiming thence for Abbey Village and 16 miles.

We remaining three set off for Great Hill, but as we approached Drinkwater's TM realised that she had not left herself enough time to run home, and, turning to retrace her steps, with her mobile to her ear, muttered "He's not picking up!".

KLM and I summitted Great Hill then returned to base via Spitlers, Pauline's Path and Ammunition corner, pausing as we approached the barn, to talk to one of my non-running daughters (three fall into this category) and her companion.

Not a lot of miles covered (except possibly by YJ), mostly due to my pitiful pace, but an enjoyable outing nevertheless. Hope you made it to the wedding on time, TM (cue for a song?).

Where is Pauline's Path?

Not marked on maps, probably recently established by moutain bikers. Leaves Redmonds edge at approx SD 652 178 and heads southwestish to join the older gravelled path to Lower Hempshaw's. We'll show you the next time you're up.
