New Year's Day (Lord's Seat again)

Once again Hairyface decided to walk up Lord's Seat again for his new year treat. Last year we were first up there. This year we were first in the car park (again) and met no-one all the way up through Whinlatter Forest. But... oh no, by the time we got there some chaps were approaching from the opposite direction! They got to the top before us.

Here we are at the viewpoint which is a mere step away from the visitor centre. No one in sight, but we're watching a flight of crows which had just swooped down from the trees with a really loud flapping and swooshing of wings that made the four of them sound like a swarm!

At the summit was another wreath, this time pinned to the ground rather than hung from the post. It needed to ne nailed down as the wind was so strong, if Hairy's hat hadn't been glued to his head it would have been in the middle of next week!

It was very different from last year, there was no snow anywhere and it wasn't sunny either. As you can see in this picture it looks really gloomy, but it wasn't. It's been a very dull Chrimbo so far.
