In a message on Monday to see if we were about on Tuesday, led to a very nostalgic visit. Pat and Rob are heading up to Scotland, and wanted to call in and see us on their way.
Pat, Rob and I were all at Agricultural College together way back in the mid 80's. Since then, geography and life has kept us pretty much apart, although we have always stayed in touch. Husband has met them a couple of times briefly, but it must be well over 20 years since I saw much of them.
Pat was desperate to do a walk, but it was a bit wild and unpredictable weather wise and we didn't have much time. We ended up at Howtown for a circuit of Hallin Fell

| Neither Pat, nor Rob have change one bit in the last 30 years. |

Just over 3 miles and just over 30 years of friendship. it just felt like we had been seeing each other all the time. Hopefully they'll be back before too long to explore the Lakes a bit more.
