Erosion control, Certainly not health and safety, they are murderous to walk on.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-42063049498529378532010-10-21T23:59:50.063+01:002010-10-21T23:59:50.063+01:00Catbells and Haystacks.

I think the last time I was on top of them both was on an equally fabulously clear day when we stripped off our outer garments and sunbathed: IN THE SNOW. Those were the days. They seem so long ago. Oh yes. They WERE so long ago.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-47946489016036537522010-10-21T06:22:58.194+01:002010-10-21T06:22:58.194+01:00Pauline it is not so bad taken at a steady pace.

Only takes under an hour at my speed.<br /><br />Bob, they are, can't remember when I last enjoyed myself so much.<br /><br />John, it is rarely this clear....rarely sunny northerly winds are good for clean air. Took the fags with me, only so much undiluted fresh air I can stand.<br /><br />Emma, thank you it really was a superb day.<br /><br />Beyond the Garden, The steps are a nightmare, as you say okay going up but horrendous coming down.<br /><br />Keith, thanks and I am, there are many grand areas in the UK but this has to be near the top.<br /><br />J_on_Tour, I hate to say but I could have done with some cloud to add interest. I got to the top having seen no one. I was up there about half an hour and only saw two other people. It's not sad, that's education. I have always liked the view from great Gable but last year it was about fifty feet of view.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-58212373281900338852010-10-21T05:37:15.587+01:002010-10-21T05:37:15.587+01:00Don't think I would have survived that climb! ...Don't think I would have survived that climb!

This was the first hill I ever did as a boy and even though I try to avoid it for the reasons mentioned above, I can't deny that it's up there with the top 5 viewpoints of The Lake District.<br />I was trying to work out where the cave was until I read the text !.... and I'm shouting the names of the hills at the computer screen... how sad.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-76402049691048210722010-10-20T21:26:23.130+01:002010-10-20T21:26:23.130+01:00These are stunning images Adrian.

My knees would rather go around them. Going up is not so bad but going down is a bit too thumping!

Maybe the lack of practice walking on inclines here on the Lincolnshire coastal plain but my legs start some serious cramping on the short steep pavements in Louth.<br /><br />Great views.
