Hello Misty Maid, greetings from Cumbria.

You are so right about having to paddle your own canoe. Mind you, I have never been a people pleaser, if it seems anyone is going to give me flack about my fasting, or refusal to eat cake or scones at the end of a group ramble, they get The Look.

Pain-free knees alone are worth it, especially for a hill walker.

Good luck with the next stone.

I love the Welsh Borders. Regularly holiday in Shropshire and love the area around Clun. Also a fan of the Phil Rickman books.
