A "Gorgeous" Saturday and a Better Sunday

Saturday - A weary run from home through the UP and then the climbs and home again, 14 and a bit miles. As I started through the gardens I remembered Watters telling me recently, over a glass of red, that he had recently strayed further south into a part of the gardens that he had not seen before and discovered a quite dramatic gorge that seems to take the outflow from the Japanese Lagoon, so I decided to explore this. It lies at about GR 637 138 and further research on my part suggests it's called the Great Ravine. Parts of it are fenced off, but these posed no real barrier to an intrepid accountant in fell shoes. Definitely worth a look.

Sunday - Better than last Sunday, in fact over 3 and a half minutes better. Unfortunately no Matt, who's nursing a sore Achilles, partly due to bumping into t'Yorkshireman on Winter Hill and partly due to carrying his daughter's three piece suite up several flights of stairs into her new flat. Tough luck, Ray the First, hope you're soon back in your studs.

A Half Century! - Surely not, NLN. A belated happy birthday.
