  1. After retrieving sheep (passim) on their way to greener fields we got out for the obligatory run. The dug will not settle down for the tip back norhth without it. A lovely 12k along the old fell road - a combination of the old dam construction road and the side of a quiet A6.

    My brother was here on Thursday night and got soaked on his trip oot. I passed him this photo too and laughed.

  4. Morning run

    Over in Cumbria last night and we ran like heck before it got too got. Our audience a lonesome sheep who really was not impressed. To be fair I would not have been as a spectator either.

    12k, mainly road with a wee bit of track before it warmed up.

  6. Yesterday was the final day of my week in Cumbria, so I celebrated with a last ride in the hills. I think it'll be a while before I see quite so much green again.

  7. Not far from where I am this week is Dove Cottage, in Grasmere - famously, home to the Wordsworths between 1799 and 1808. This is the interior of Dorothy's bedroom, which was entirely lined with contemporary newspapers, in the forlorn hope that they would act as insulation, and keep the room a bit warmer.

  8. Infrastructure news. The government's Project Gigabit UK is coming to my road in Cumbria next month, as a new fast full-fibre network. It's aimed to fill gaps where commercial network providers can't see a profit.
    That's nice news, and good sense, without any headlines. (Full disclosure. I wasn't aware that this was really coming to us/our postcode.)

  11. I went for a nice ride around Windermere on Monday. It was a shame about the puncture, three miles from home on the way back, but at least the walk was mostly downhill...

  15. Apparently, it was Beatrix Potter's birthday yesterday - she would have been 160 this year. This is a scene from close to her house, in Near Sawrey. I cycled past here a couple of weeks ago, and stopped to admire the view.

  16. This short walk is over Hampsfell, above Grange-over-Sands in #Cumbria with a chance of whatever sea breezes there are in the heatwave. It visits unusual Hampsfell Hospice, built to provide shelter for travellers. Great views in clear weather. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/Cumbr
