    The mrs was glad of a break




    Then a different route back down to a little watering hole we know. Had a lovely pint of morland old speckled hen. Can recommend it to anyone who may not have tried it, 5.2%.




    Not many pics I'm afraid. Its an 8 1/2 mile trek all round and we put our foot down to get back off the mountain before it got to dark. I can assure you my Cilt was strapped on. You will have to trust me.

    That looks like the setting for the 1994 film "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill, but Came Down a Mountain":

    By the look of the photos, it looks more like hiking UP a mountain and coming DOWN a hill. It looks like a strenuous hike up. Harder going up than down.
