Month: August 2010
... and other stuff that fitted into a week's holiday ...
It was hot and sunny on a Bank Holiday..... it was never like this under Gordon Brown!!!!
We went to Foredale Quarry near Settle on Sunday to get away form the crowds in the Lake District over the bank holiday weekend. As we arrived we were greeted with the wonderful sight of a steam train charging north from Settle...
The weather on the first day of the bank-holiday weekend turned out much wetter than forecast, so the planned rock climbing excursion to Borrowdale was modified into a poor weather navigation practice up on Blencathra...
This afternoon the garden saw a brief glimpse of summer! Just four days left in August, and after what seems like weeks of back-to-back rain storms, the sun came out!
ArĂÂȘte des Cosmiques - such a classic and I had never done it before!
We got up at a reasonable time on Saturday morning and decided to make our way up to the Envers des Aguilles....
A colleague at work mentioned this today ... you ever considered (or done any) BASE jumping?
Finally - we decided to spend our extended holiday in Australia and are experiencing great country sites..
