Nice.

Being at work on such nice days is wrong. Very wrong.

Looks like it was a cracking day for it. You Instagram was annoying me as I waited for work to finish.

*#;§ right off.
Not jealous, no not at all. I'll expect biblical precipitation when I'm thereabouts in July.

Been a while since I got up there - was lovely today though (and yesterday).

You can almost see my house from the top... possibly the roof with some binoculars 😉

Me and the Mrs did the same - one of the rare times that the Bowland bridleways are (almost) dry. Just spoilt slighty by the incessant wind - I presume similar up on the Lakeland fells?

Also loads of birdwatchers with huge cameras and telescopes wandering up the Dunsop valley to spot a rare Pallid Harrier.

Crazy windy. Had to walk a couple of bits to stop me from being blown off the mountain!

Ace. Planning on riding round Skiddaw on Saturday, fingers crossed it holds.

That really does look glorious.

On a side note, how the dickens is your chain and cassette so clean?
