In Search of Eagles!

Went to Haweswater, mainly as a Wainright bagging exercise for Kaz, but also to see if the Eagle(s) were still about. Set off late, as per usual, and climbed up to Raise via the wrong ridge!! But we got where we wanted and saw a large herd of deer too. Saw a nice pair of Ring Ouzel, briefly, on Kidsty Pike. Picked up the other target Wainrights and off up to High Street. Lucky spot of three Dotterels right by the trig. Very smart birds they were too. Then quick drop off via Mardale Ill Bell and the Nan Beild Pass. Never been down this way and its a lovely drop off to the tarn. There's three wee, individual 'bothy's' or sheep huts.It'd make a nice spot for a wild camp. Lovely sunny finish to a really nice little walk round. Finished off with a pint and tea, including Mega Trifle to share, in Carlisle while watching Man City beat Man U 1-0 :)

Now I'm here I've nowt to say!!!

It's a simple thing, a 'blog'!! I guess my intention, as I'm on the cusp of fifty, is to chart and attempt to focus and, maybe, enhance my life!! Who knows where it'll go!!
