21st October 2007 Lake District: NE Area A quick change of plan was needed this morning as last night I think I broke a toe. Not wanting to push it too far I decided on Gowbarrow Fell on the shores of Ullswater with a return walk down the popular Aira Force waterfalls. No Problems on the ascent but when we were coming down the toe was painfull. Dist: 4.75 miles Ascent: 1219 feet Time: 3h 15m Dave Dave & Edith Browns walking diary

Unable to get out for a few days as the broken toe is giving me a bit of stick at the moment + it's the half-term here so we have the granddaughters for a couple of days. It does however give me the chance to put some pictures taken a while ago whist on holiday in Scotland on the website for those that my be interested. Dave Dave & Edith Browns walking diary

28th October 2007 Arnside and Silverdale AONB I hadn't intended to go walking today but the early morning rain soon cleared to leave a virtually cloud free sky.

9th November 2007 Lake District -- Southern Area Today we wanted to visit one of AW's Outlying Fells at the southern end of Coniston Water. We parked the car near to High Nibthwaite and in turn visited the tops of Brock Barrow, Low Light Haw, High Light Haw, Arnsbarrow Hill and Top o'Selside. Although only a short walk in mileage terms it is far from easy going through heather and wet ground but this is more than made up for by the fantastic views.

13th November 2007 Lake District -- Southern Area This short walk was done as an afterthought. I returned to Stavely from the previous walk and it was only about 12:30. After having a sandwich from a local shop I decided to nip up Reston Scar which overlooks the village. Only of small stature it still offers gorgeous views on a fine clear day.

Sorry about the lack of walking over the past week, after the last walk I started to get a lot of pain in my right foot on the top of the bridge. Went to A&E for X-Rays which revealed that nothings broken. They say it's probably a bad bout of tendinitis and to rest it up. It's very frustrating but can't do much about it.

Managed to get the boots on yesterday for a short walk in our local area. It hardly qualifies as a walk so I've put the pictures in the "Local Pictures" section of the website. Dave from Dave & Edith Brown's walking diary
