Thank you for that. The hill in the background of that picture is Hang Bank, and the Roman road called Dere Street (now the B6275) runs up the middle of it.
Cheers, Alen.

At last things are beginning to dry out over here. We’ve had one of the wettest years on record, with floods everywhere. I hope Denmark stays dry ??? drier than here, anyway.
Cheers, Alen

I hope you have an outdoor garden hose to the boots and pants for that matter.
Your photos are very lovely and evocative cannot.
All the best,
Hanna

There are some of those paths in the Howgills too, on Calders and that area. I think they must come up from Sedbergh ??? but I’ve never been up that way so I can’t say for sure. They’re well above cow shit level, mind
Cheers, Alen

But I don’t like all those man made paths in the Lakes. I prefer to walk down the fellside it’s easier on the knees.
