For quite sometime (probably about a year in fact) we have been planning to do a walk with our friend Joan and then round the day off with an Indian. For a variety of reasons it hadn't happened but the idea has always been there. Walking with Indians became the title of something which seemed destined to never happen - and it very nearly didn't happen today either. We had finally got it arranged and Joan came down with an awful cold!
In the end Joan decided that she could manage a half day walk. Husband is getting over a pulled calf muscle so he opts to stay home and give it a bit longer to repair, so it's the three girls together as we set off from Grainsgill bridge.

| Joan has has seen it from all the fells around but never actually visited Lingy Hut before. |
 |
| She has now! |
 |
| Whilst we were in the hut we discussed where to go from there. It was 4pm and the light fades quickly now. Also we have that Indiian to get to! We decided to head over to High Pike and the cut back down via Poddy Gill |
 |
| As we neared the top of High Pike the light was amazing behind us |
 |
| And the view over the solway was as clear as it ever is |
 |
 |
| We start to make our way off piste towards Poddy Gill |
 |
| Part way down Breeze suddenly starts to struggle. Staggering and wobbly. It has happened before and Spaniels are known to suffer from episodes of collapse on occasions (basically they don't slow down and run themselves out of energy). I carry a special fast acting food supplement for these occasions but bless her, it took her a minute or two to summons up the energy to eat it (it's in her mouth in this picture). After two chunks of it and a few minutes, she was dashing around like a lunatic again thankfully. |

| Back at the car in time to go and get that Indian! |
