Ailie descending

I’m still lacking in driving confidence so I offered to drive Ailie up the Ingram Valley for the hill forts walk. We had a glorious morning - the light on the hills was so pretty.

My OS app didn’t work for the first part of the walk but this time I knew to try it again as soon as we got a little way up the track
out of the narrow valley. We visited several Iron Age hill forts on the round and after an easy gradient we reached a good height and maintained it apart from one steep muddy slither into a narrow gully where I slipped onto my bottom again. It’s always the right leg so I’m wondering if it’s that I don’t get a good grip on what was the broken ankle. No harm done and up the other side no problem. We enjoyed it so much, despite the cold wind, so we took a longer route down than the planned one. Just over 5 miles but rough till walking till we reached this bridleway for the last mile.

We got the best of the day as it’s cloudy again.
