Sheep near Dockray

Monday 2nd July 2012, 2.50pm (day 312)

Sheep in buttercups, 2/7/12

Man did I have to get out on a walk at some point or I was going to go mad. I made it, it wasn’t totally dry, but it will do. More details are on my other blog.

Clare likes me to take a picture of a sheep on every trip: and as it is our 13th wedding anniversary today, this one’s for you babe.

Sheep quintet above Longsleddale

Monday 12th March 2012, 10.00am (day 200)

Sheep quintet, 12/3/12

Worked yesterday on the way home so I could get a day’s walking in today, but the views were disappointing again – despite a good forecast, cloud obscured most things above about 1,500 feet today.

I did like this little group of sheep, however, who arranged themselves across the shot like an 80s indie band on an album cover. There’s the lead singer down in front, the tough bass player behind, the lead & rhythm guitarist stylishly ignoring the camera in the centre. Not sure what the job of the one on the right is. It’ll probably be the synth player who’s on his way out after this album, like Viv Savage from Spinal Tap, say.

By the way, today’s the 200th day of this blog: I will put up some more ‘Best of the Rest’ but not tonight.

The summit of Rannerdale Knotts

Friday 28th October 2011, 11.40am (day 64)

Rannerdale Knotts, 28/10/11

No time to settle in at home after returning from Moscow – at this time of year it is necessary to grab the chance to get a walk in when I can. I may not have time to do any more until nearly Christmas, unfortunately, and depend on the weather even then.

But it’s worth it. Trips abroad are interesting but I’d rather be here. So would this sheep, by the looks of things.

(See http://214wainwrights.wordpress.com for other photos from today and a description of the walk.)
