My friend Rachel put on another of her Ethel walks today. We met at Hartington duck pond - as you do :) - and had a very enjoyable walk, bagging two Ethels on the return leg. There was a fair bit ascent and I wished I'd remembered to use my inhaler, but I survived.

Back in Hartington we got a coffee/tea in The Village Stores and enjoyed it while sitting outside, although ten minutes earlier tiny hailstones had been showering down!

I decided to go and do a third Ethel a short distance away while I was in the area and managed to find it quite easily, it being a pointy triangle shaped peak, parked up and set off. It was very steep and the sheep stared at me as if I was mad, which I was, but then I reached the trig point and it was done... well 38 out of 95 done actually! The stats are totals of the two walks, both with the group and solo.
