Half The Balcony Route

Friends Iain and Chris are up staying locally in their caravan for a couple of days and we have a walk planned for tomorrow but the forecast for today is better. We thought it would be nice to meet up for a short walk this afternoon and make the most of it. Once they have got settled into their pitch, we head off to the sanatorium and make our way along the familiar route. 
 
 
 
Husband and Iain go back a long way. They were at college together and then became work colleagues too - which is where I first met Iain. They had a lot to talk about it would seem, or at least I think that was why they were always way behind us.

From left to right - Iain, Bess, Bridie and Chris taking a paddle

and again with a bit more scenery


We didn't do the full route today. Partly due to time and partly because Bridie is an old lady and we didn't want to over do it; after all we are planning another walk tomorrow. So just before Roughten Gill we headed down to meet the Glenderaterra Beck and follow it back to the Wescoe road



Still chatting!

One last look at the view before we climb back up to the cars. A bit of stick pointing as usual!
About 3 miles, just enough to work up an appetite for supper!
