Named after Sir Walter Scott’s first novel, Paddle Steamer PS Waverley was built on the Clyde in 1947 - to replace the original Waverley that sunk off Dunkirk during active war service in 1940.
Waverley’s keel was laid on December 27, 1945 but due to material shortages after the war, she was not ready for launch until October 2, 1946.
It wasn’t until the following year on January 20, 1947 that she was towed to Greenock for the installation of her boiler and engines. Finally she made her maiden voyage on June 16, 1947 and started what was to become a very long career.
Since 2003 Waverley has been listed in the National Historic Fleet by National Historic Ships UK as "a vessel of pre-eminent national importance". She appeared in the 2011 film 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows'. She is claimed to be "the most photographed ship in the world."
Waverley has had several colour schemes in her life. Early photographs show paddle boxes painted sometimes white and sometimes black. The gold stripe along the hull is in some photos and not others. Today Waverley has the LNER 1947 livery of red, white and black funnels, traditional brown-grained (or "scumbled") superstructure and black paddle-wheel boxes, decorated with gold lettering on each side.
Waverley was originally intended to sail only between Craigendoran & Arrochar in West Scotland. She now sails right round Britain offering regular trips on the Clyde, the Thames, South Coast of England and the Bristol Channel with calls at Liverpool & Llandudno.
Waverley is the world’s last sea-going paddle steamer. In 1975, at the end of her working life, she was famously bought for £1 by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society. Waverley Steam Navigation Co. Ltd, a charity registered in Scotland, was set up.
Tonnage:693 grt;
Length:239 ft 11 in (73.13 m);
Beam: 57 ft 3 in (17.45 m);
Draught:6 ft 3 in (1.91 m).
Installed power:2,100 ihp (1,566kW)
Waverley is powered by a three-crank diagonal triple-expansion marine steam engine built by Rankin & Blackmore, Engineers, Eagle Foundry, Greenock, Scotland. It is rated at 2,100 IHP and achieved a trial speed of 18.37 knots (34.02 km/h; 21.14 mph) at 57.8 rpm. Passengers can watch these engines from passageways on either side of the engine room.
The main crank is solidly attached to both paddle wheels so they cannot turn independently of each other. The Waverley therefore has a much larger turning circle than modern ferries.

*replaced original photo posted with a new edit to change the color of her scarf. This is my younger cousin who visited last month from the Netherlands. I took this on my dad's camera when we were walking in the woods. I think she is so gorgeous.
I was trying to go with a bit of old fashioned style. Sort of tinted photo meets sepia. Is it too dark?

Replaced the sky of the original Dalden Tower image with a moon. I added some effects to create a spooky atmosphere.
Dalden Tower is found in Dalton-le-Dale near Seaham in County Durham.
It was built at least as early as 1375, when it passed from the hands of the Escolland family to the Bowes family. Prior to the switch, the Escollands had changed their name to Dalden, hence the name of the structure.
For two centuries it remained a popular and well-used residence for the Bowes family, subsequently passing through the hands of the Collingwoods, Millbankes and Londonderrys, but it has been derelict since at least the early 1700s.

First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJZ, this aircraft was delivered to Singapore Airlines as 9V-SJC in Jun-96. Singapore Airlines A340-300 fleet was traded in to Boeing between 2001/2003 in part-exchange for new Boeing 777-300ER's.
This one was registered to the Boeing Aircraft Holding Company in Dec-01 and immediately leased to Cathay Pacific Airways as B-HXO. It was sold to a lessor in Mar-02 while the lease to Cathay Pacific continued.
The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Victorville, CA, USA in Sep-09. It was returned to the lessor in Feb-12 and leased to Aerolineas Argentinas as LV-CSF later the same month. It was returned to the lessor and permanently retired at San Bernadino, CA, USA in Mar-18. It was sold to Unical Aviation as N128XX in May-18 for parting out.
This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 2nd March 2014 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. This year's event included a 10KM race which replaced the 5KM event held on the previous years. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 700 beating the previous race numbers of 680. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal of the New Year. Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. The very heavy rain that fell on the 10KM race and the begining of the Half Marathon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the participants. In fact, despite a head wind at certain parts of the course, this was a perfect day for road racing.
Our full set of photographs from today's event are available on Flickr at the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157641717197563/. This set of photographs is mostly of the Half Marathon race but there are some from the 10KM event.

The Satellite Navigation Coordinates to Bohermeen are [53.650882,-6.77989] and is accessible using the M3, N2 and N52
The routing for the 2014 event has changed slightly from previous year. In 2014 the race starts about 100m away from the Bohermeen Club Race HQ [See Google StreetView in the direction of the imagery goo.gl/maps/rtj1X] and the race proceeds down the road towards Navan. Just before the 1st mile the race takes a right turn [see Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/iGrR0] which brings runners on the route of the famous Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race route held at Bohermeen every summer. Then the route turns slightly eastwards and this brings the race along a beautiful stretch of rural countryside road. This connects runners with the main loop [see Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/gLI1l] where the race follows the N51 towards Navan. The race must now complete this loop (which passes through the start area and past the finish) and then a full loop again before finishing in the Athletics track. The only hills to speak of in this course are on the the stretch where the race route crosses the M3 motorway (see Google Streetview - as of March 2014 their imagery is a little out of date for the M3 goo.gl/maps/tcdJX). The only major climb on the course must be tackled twice as the road rises up over the M3 Motorway. This comes at about the 5M and 11.5 Mile mark in the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Introduced in 1956, it replaced the highly successful Austin A30. The name reflected the larger and more powerful 34 hp (25 kW) A-Series inline-four engine, enabling a slightly higher top speed and better acceleration.
The A35 is very similar in appearance to the A30, except for a larger rear window aperture and a painted front grille, with chrome horse-shoe surround, instead of the chrome grille on the A30. Both have 13 in (330 mm) wheels. The semaphore turn-signal indicators were replaced with modern front- and rear-mounted flashing lights.
Like the A30, the A35 was offered as a two- or four-door saloon and two-door "Countryman" estate and also as a van. The latter model continued in production through to 1968. A rare coupe utility (pickup) version was also produced in 1956, with just 477 sold.
The A35 passenger cars were replaced by the new body shape A40 Farina models in 1959 but the estate car version continued until 1962 and van until 1968.
A two-door de luxe saloon with the 948 cc engine was tested by the British Motor magazine in 1956 and was found to have a top speed of 71.9 mph (115.7 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 30.1 seconds. A fuel consumption of 41.5 miles per imperial gallon (6.81 L/100 km; 34.6 mpg‑US) was recorded.
The Sussex Building, at 1430 Larimer Street, was built in the 1880's, replacing R.W. Roath's Pioneer Jewelry Store. Offices occupy the Sussex, while Sussex walk contains a variety of Shops and restaurants. The building itself is copied in a Richardsonian Romanesque style inclusive of round arches.
In 1969, the Romero family opened La Mancha Restaurant in the basement of the Sussex, where it was reported that ghostly spirits frequently would bang on the walls and rattle the pipes. To calm themselves, customers would drink hurricane margaritas, which were mixed six gallons at a time every day at 9:30 am and 2:30 pm.
The Larimer Square Historic District, covering the 1400 block of Larimer Street, was the birthplace of Denver City in 1858, with false-fronted stores, hotels and saloons catering to prospectors and pioneers. The original wood buildings were destroyed during the fires of 1863, but the surviving second generation two and three-story late Victorian brick buildings date from the late 19th century. In the mid 1870's, it was the main street of the city, and the site of Denver's first post office, bank, theater, and streetcar line. By the 1930s, urban decay left a skid row of pawnshops, gin mills, and flophouses. The buildings were spared demolition from the sweeping urban renewal projects of the mid-1960's, primarily due to the efforts of Denver preservationist Dana Crawford. As part of the nation's first historic neighborhood revitalization campaign, a for-profit corporation renovated all 16 of the block's commercial buildings in 1969, providing mixed space for shops, restaurants and offices.

In July 1981 the L&N replaced the old bridge over the Clinch River at Elza, TN (near Oak Ridge). Dad's bridge gang was part of the crew that worked on this major project. The new bridge was taken down from an abandoned L&N line and floated up the Tennessee River from West Tennessee.

First flown with the Boeing test registration N1787B, this aircraft was delivered to AWAS Ansett Worldwide Aviation Services and leased to Air Malta as 9H-ADH in Mar-98.
It was wet-leased to Azzurra Air (Italy) between Nov-99 / Mar-00, and again between Dec-00 & the end of Mar-01. It was returned to AWAS in Feb-08 and leased to Air New Zealand as ZK-NGP the following month.
The aircraft was withdrawn from service in Aug-14 and stored at Christchurch, New Zealand. It was returned to the lessor in Oct-14 and stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA. It was re-registered N175CR in Mar-15 and remained stored.
It was sold to another lessor in Apr-15 and ferried to Tampa, FL, USA for freighter conversion. Conversion was completed in Sep-15 and the aircraft was leased to Texel Air (Bahrain) as A9C-APC a few days later.
The aircraft is said to have been transferred to Texel Air Australasia, based in New Zealand, in Mar-23. However I'm unable to find a New Zealand registration for it (they have two B737-800(F)'s in service, ZK-TXA and ZK-TXE) and I can only assume it's stored somewhere. There is no record on FR24 of flights by A9C-APC in the last 12 months. Updated 18-Jan-24.
The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen - stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists - in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated.
Over many decades, change saw the concert hall become the city library, offices proliferate and more tenants move in, including piano tuners, palmists and clairvoyants. Drastic 'remodelling' occurred during the austere 1930s and the main occupant was the Sydney City Council. As recently as 1959 the Queen Victoria Building was threatened with demolition. As it stands now, in all its glory. It is testimony to the original vision for the building and the superb craftsmanship of the artisans who put it all back together again.
The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building.
The visual message of Sydney's coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship - trade, and the dolphins - the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB.
The symbols are of property developers - the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria's statue.

A somewhat confusing history... Delivered new to Overseas National Airways in May-69 as N864F, it was briefly leased to Air Afrique in Oct/Nov-77. It was sold to Seaboard World Airlines in Dec-77 and leased to Capitol International Airways in May-79, returning to Seaboard World in Nov-79.
It was then immediately leased to Saudi Arabian Airlines Cargo. In the meantime Seaboard World was merged into Flying Tiger Line in Oct-80 and Saudi Arabian returned the aircraft to them in Mar-81 when it was re-registered N774FT.
It was sold to the 'new' Overseas National Airways in Apr-81 (the 'old' ONA ceased trading in 1978 and a new company took over the name) and leased to Wein Air Alaska the following month. It was re-registered N906R with Wein Air Alaska in May-81.
The aircraft was returned to ONA in Jul-82. Over the next two years it was leased to several airlines, Airlift International (Nov-82/Jul-83), Air India (Jul/Oct-83 and Nov-83). In the meantime ONA had been renamed National Airlines and Air India returned it to them in Dec-84.
In Jan-85 it was sold to ATASCO Leasing and leased back to National Airlines. It was again leased to Air India (Feb/Jul-85). National Airlines ceased trading in Feb-86 and the aircraft was sold to Emery Worldwide in Mar-86.
They sold it to Aerolease Financial Group in Jun-88 and leased it back. It was returned to Aerolease in Jun-95. ATI Air Transport International leased it in Jul-95. It was sold to Aerofreighter LLC in Dec-99 while the lease to ATI continued.
It was returned to Aerofreighter LLC in Jan-02 and was stored at Marana, AZ, USA, where it was eventually broken up.
Erich Georg Alexander Sebastien von Falkenhayn
(11.9.1861 - 8.4.1922)
Following the Marne Falkenhayn was selected to replace von Moltke as Chief of General Staff. He simultaneously held this position and that of Prussian War Minister for the next five months. Highly intelligent, but indecisive and aloof, his push for unrestricted submarine warfare brought him into conflict with Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. He also developed the perspective that the Western Front was the most crucial area of fighting, bringing him into bitter conflict with the heroes of the East, von Hindenburg and Ludendorff. He understood early on, however, that the war was a probably a lost cause, compelling him in 1916 to devise the desperate plan that would become the debacle of Verdun. Because of this, he was replaced by von Hindenburg as Chief of Staff, and thereafter demoted to commander the Ninth Army, a force which overran Romania within nine weeks. He was then transferred to Palestine to command Army Group Yildirim (1917-18) and recapture Mesopotamia, but his failure to halt General Allenby there saw him replaced by the capable Liman von Sanders and sent to the relatively obscure command of the Tenth Army in Lithuania, where he spent the last six months of the war.
This old International truck looks to be about 1947-49 model. The license plate has expired years ago.

The memorial was damaged beyond repair in 2006 and replaced in 2008.
The memorial has been moved to NJ 12506 34385, the position shown above is right on the main road so perhaps it was hit by a vehicle that would fit with the damage on the original which is in the cemetery (NJ 1418 3528).
There appears to be a church hall across the road from memorial.

Leased from/op by TransAer.
With a history this long, you can tell this aircraft has had a busy life!! First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWBR, this aircraft was delivered to Orix Leasing and leased to Translift Airways (Ireland) as EI-TLF in Jun-94.
Translift was a major ACMI operator (see below) and operated on behalf of many airlines including Leisure Air (Nov-94/May-95), SunExpress Airlines (Turkey) (Jun/Aug-95), All Leisure Airways (Aug/Oct-95), TransMeridian Airways (USA) (Oct-95/May-96), Turkish Airlines (May/Oct-96), and America West Airlines (Nov-96/Apr-97).
Translift Airways was renamed TransAer International Airlines in May-97. ACMI wet-leases continued with Airworld (UK) (May/Oct-97, TransMeridian Airways (USA) (Nov-97/Apr-98), Britannia Airways (UK) (Apr/Nov-98), TransMeridian Airways (Nov-98/Apr-99) and Britannia Airways (Apr/Nov-99).
The aircraft was returned to Orix Leasing in Jan-00 and re-registered N168GB the following month. It was leased to Airtours Group German subsidiary FlyFTI (Frosch Touristic International) as D-AUKT in Mar-00. It was returned to Orix in Nov-01 and leased to Skyservice Airlines (Canada) as C-GTDL in Dec-01.
The aircraft was wet-leased to MyTravel Airways (UK) between May/Oct-02, Apr/Nov-03, Jun/Nov-04. Between Apr/Nov-05 the aircraft was dry-leased to MyTravel Airways as G-GTDL, returning to Skyservice as C-GTDL between Nov-05/May-06. It was dry-leased to MyTavel again as G-GTDL in May-06 and stayed until Nov-07 when it returned to Skyservice as C-GTDL.
At the end of Mar-08, MyTravel Airways was Merged into Thomas Cook Airlines UK. The aircraft was leased to Thomas Cook Airlines UK as G-GTDL in Apr-08 and this time was repainted in full Thomas Cook livery. It was still sub-leased to Thomas Cook when Skyservice ceased operations at the end of Mar-10.
The aircraft should have returned to Skyservice but stayed at Manchester, UK as a back-up aircraft for the summer season and was stored at Manchester in Nov-10. It was returned to the lessor in Sep-11 and was re-registered N476PB the following month.
It was leased to Skywings Asia Airlines (Cambodia) as XU-ZAB in Nov-11. It was wet-leased to Aviatrans K between May/Sep-13 and wet-leased to Apsara International Air in Oct-13. Skywings Asia was renamed Sky Angkor Airlines in Nov-14 and the aircraft was returned to them in Feb-15.

先日買ったニコワンことNikon 1用の単焦点レンズ「1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8」用にレンズフードを購入。純正品の指定ではフジツボ型の「HB-N104」だけど、これが実に気持ち悪い形をしてる。フジツボ型とは良く言ったモンで、フジツボ見ると鳥肌が立つタイプな私としては許しがたかった。ネットで調べてみると、同じくNikon1用標準ズームレンズ1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6のレンズフードであるHB-N101が流用可能なことが分かる。ただ、このHB-N101は私も1つ買ったことあるけれど実に作りが悪いのに1900円弱もしやがる。
いろいろAmazonを見ていると、無駄に高いHB-N101互換品(=パチもん)として怪しい中華製の「HB-N101 互換品LH-N101」が出ていることを発見。価格も約半額。純正品も別に良いモノでは無いので怪しいコレでいいや、とポチる。実用上の問題は全く感じませんから、コレで良いと思います。
パッケージにも商品にも単刀直入に「Replaces Nikon HB-N101」と書かれているから実に笑える。中国ってナンでもアリなんだな。
Rocky Mountain Lineman Gabe Huston replaces overhead groundwire and fiber hardware on the Miracle Mile-to-Snowy Range 115-kilovolt line, Sept. 2. The crews used the long-line helicopter method, trained on the day before, to transition from structure to structure and to carry equipment instead of the more time-consuming bucket trucks. About 25 linemen completed 10 miles of maintenance in two days using the helicopter.
We had a weekend in Borrowdale recently, a Christmas present that we tagged a day on to. After calling at work on Saturday morning to open for business we headed up the motorway to Penrith. The road through the central lakes was washed away in the recent floods and it is going to be a long job replacing it. This made the diverted journey around 145 miles but we had a good run up there. We wanted to get walking ASAP so we pulled in at Threlkeld with a view to heading up Clough Head, and subject to conditions, head over the Dodds and back by the Old Coach Road. We had left appalling weather at home, wind, rain, fog and sleet on the tops. Thankfully it was better further north. There was laying snow on the summits, it was fairly calm low down and some summits were cloud free.
We left the car at 11.10 in our winter gear, straight up through the quarries and the steep scree slope (another Red Screes), by now we were into the snow line. The cloud was down, the wind gale force and the summit frozen hard – a different world up here. South next to Calfhow Pike, the wind made it difficult to talk and it was around -4 so the there was a fair wind-chill factor. It was tough going to our next top – Great Dodd, part of the Helvellyn massif – It was to icy to walk in places which meant deviating from the path, and losing our bearings, visibility was around ten yards with spindrift creating a whiteout at times. We battled on to the top and found the summit cairn. Great Dodd isn’t the easiest top to find your way off in low visibility, we would have gone further but in these conditions it was pointless so we retraced our steps to Calfhow and clear conditions. From here we followed Mosedale beck to Mariel Bridge, which is on the Old Coach Road, this gave us a circular route back to our start. The Old Coach Road has been wrecked by the floods and the 4x4 off roaders are making it a lot worse. 9.25 miles in 3 ¼ hours and we were in Brysons Tearooms in Keswick for Coffee and cake by 3.45pm. We carried on to Borrowdale and checked in at our hotel, not a bad day really.
After a poor night in a poor bed we were breakfasted and out for 8.30. We drove the few miles up to Seatoller and we were kitted up and away at 9.10. A bitterly cold and icy morning, there was some sun but not as much as promised. We could see the summit of Great End covered in cloud, we were heading up there on to the Sca Fell massif. We followed the valley to the east of Seathwaite Fell, a new path for us. Once in the snow the going was very icy with the path ice covered in places. The snow was dry and powdery and in places it had blown over the underlying ice. At this point I might add, we do own crampons. After a winter of splashing around soaked we didn’t expect to need them and they were at home – very clever! This was our first real winters day this winter, other than an hour on Sca Fell Pike on Christmas Day, we haven’t seen winter conditions this winter. By the time we got to Esk Hause it was difficult to stay upright and on our way to Great End we had to pick our way very carefully around the worst of the ice. The spindrift made it difficult to see the ground at times, spinning around our feet in a mist. Once on the summit the cloud was thick and the wind speed high. We had been here fairly recently so I knew the layout of the summit and we had little difficulty finding the summit cairn. We were cursing our lack of crampons and the cloud. Instead of heading into the cloud along the Sca Fell Pike path we decided to get under the cloud, back to Esk Hause and head over Allen Crags and Glaramara. At this point we both took some heavy falls, as did others up there, a lot turned around and headed back down, it was deadly. The cloud had thickened, there wasn’t a ray of sun to soften things. Our chosen route was one of the hardest afternoons we had ever had. Everywhere was frozen solid, we had to kick toe or heel holes to move on slopes that we wouldn’t have broken stride on normally. Minor rock scrambles down steep crags had become life threatening in places and we proceeded with extreme care. The knees were creaking on the long descent to Seathwaite. 10.3 miles in six hours, almost half the speed of yesterday. We made it Keswick for afternoon tea – and bought some Micro Spikes for unfinished business to deal with tomorrow. A beautiful day was forecast so fingers crossed we headed back for a soak in the tub.
Day three, a gorgeous icy, sunny winters day. Things looked promising. We left along yesterday’s route at the same start time – with walking poles and Micro Spikes! At the top of the valley we met a guy who had set off before us, two guys known to him were picking their way through the crags, tiny specks on the 800 foot rocky crag. Some appeared to have tried to climb the snow filled chimney that runs to the summit but we heard later that conditions weren’t suitable. Even though it was minus four the sun had softened the snow just enough to get a grip and it was easier to avoid the worst of the ice, unlike yesterday. The summit of Great End was incredible with never ending vistas. We could see a steady stream of walkers on every path by now. Word had got out that we were in for a rare treat today, plus it was school half term so a lot of people were off work. I visited every possible viewpoint as we went to the summit of Ill Crag , Broad Crag and finally Sca Fell Pike. It was 1.00 PM by now and a steady stream of elated walkers were arriving on England’s highest point. It was bitter but beautiful. We had around five miles back to the car along the Corridor Route to Styhead, Stockley Bridge and Seathwaite. Part of this route we had covered recently on Christmas Day and despite the snow and ice we powered along. We would have been back in two hours but! A mile from the car, following the manmade path down Taylorgill Force to Stockley Bridge Jayne Stumbled. It’s not often she walks in front. I normally lead and relay instructions and warnings back to her. She hit the rock path with her head and face really hard, stunned, she rolled off the path over a drop. She was vertical, resting on a rock on her knees and clinging on to the edge of the path with her fingertips. I grabbed her rucksack and held her whilst I checked her injuries. She had a bad bump on her temple, another on her forehead, split the bridge or her nose, her glasses had gone flying but would straighten. Being left handed she had stuck her left hand out and it had been bent back, it was swelling and discolouring pretty fast. When I had established that nothing was serious enough to stop her moving I got her back on to the path to see to her injuries. The pain initially made her think that she was in a worse state than ( I thought) she really was. She could move her fingers and wrist, albeit with some pain but not enough for it to be broken. The wound to the bridge of her nose although very painful wasn’t going to be a problem. The bumps on her head were turning into eggs by now. I gave her Ibuprofen and Paracetemol and she sat and composed herself for the final mile. We made it to the café in Keswick and got a slightly later afternoon break, our first of the day again. 11.3 miles today in 6 ¼ hours and fairly tough going. It was nothing more than a careless, tired perhaps, stumble on one of the horrible ( our own opinion, I might add) manmade paths made out of irregular stones which are laid at odd angles and are a nightmare to descend when wet on tired legs. A few days later and Jayne is sat on reception at the doctors looking like she’s been boxing, with a purple eye and nose, her left hand swollen and purple – otherwise she’s OK. I came down with mild food poisoning during the night and had to drive 145 miles home at 8.00 the morning after feeling extremely ill. I was due to start fasting for a Colonoscopy in three days. I ended up eating six slices of toast over a four day period – Monday evening to Thursday evening- Having had over 40 stomach endoscopies in twenty years the colonoscopy was nothing more than uncomfortable and , subject to biopsy results, everything looked OK. The trapped wind was another matter – for two days! All in all a very traumatic week. Needless to say we didn’t use the Micro Spikes.
Replaced the old battery with a fresh new battery. Decided to mount a larger type, as the S80 has room for it.
