High Rigg with Ed and Gerda

The walk we planned last week, but postponed as Ed hurt his back and the weather wasn't brilliant either. Ed's back is better and so is the weather!

We started the walk with a coffee stop! St John's in the Vale, a bench in the Churchyard which was conveniently both in the sunshine and out of the breeze

Then just a little way up the road we start the short but steep climb

Donna Summer and Breeze and pleased to be out and have a play

Breeze spots a boulder - OK, so it's the Memorial Stone but she can't read

Waiting to go through the intake wall

Up the steep bit, pausing to admire the view

Off again - chance for another game

Climbing the last little bit up to the summit - Ed and Gerda are used to walking in Holland, but they had no problems today

Another boulder, another pose

Leaving the top - as usual the bots are at the back - non stop talking

Nearly back at the Church - and still they talk!

She may be 5 now but she's still a pup at heart. Chasing Beech leaves as the blow in the wind

Back where we started
We have walked a little over 4 miles on a beautiful spring day. Ed and Gerda return to Holland tomorrow but they will be back in September.
