I set off for White Moss, parked, crossed the road and got to the top of the steps down to the main path. The handrail had gone. The steps are uneven, it was dark under the trees and I didn’t want to risk a fall. I crossed the road again to go the long way round then changed my mind, walked back to the car and drove to Waterhead.

The picnic theme continues though at nine o’clock on a cool cloudy morning there weren’t any takers for these tables in front of the youth hostel.

Don’t know if I’ll have much time for Blip over the next few days so I’m leaving my comments turned off.
