Walking and Climbing

Nesting birds and sheep are a given this time of year - the ewes have been lambing for months and as soon as they lamb they are let back to the fell/hill.

Think you'll be lucky to find anywhere with no sheep

I lost a pair of Leki Makalu trekking poles in the northern Rhinogs over the Easter week-end. Can give full description and probable location where left if anyone has found them.

Thanks

Bleaklow is grim, although it's one of my favourite places, have a good look at Yellowslacks and Doctors gate for a route as well as the obvious Shelf stones, Wain Stones and B29  super fortress wreck.Also have alook at going of to Grinnah/Barrow stones they are worth a look

Re, animals you just never know, my mates dog dominated a baby hare once.It was a fairly one sided affair that lasted a good two seconds.

lots of sheep around the black mountains at the moment...just got back from an overnighter there this morning

More sheep than people over most of Peak District - same goes for West Wales, Yorkshire Dales, Cheviots etc.  Think -  all those lamb chops and woolly jumpers

Ooooh...lamb chops done on a BBQ with a lump of rosemary twigs to give a flavour in the smoke.

Wooly jumpers...have they started crossing sheep with Kangroos ?
