Had some sort of tummy bug and decided you can't have one of the SHITS having the shits can you? :-) Anyway - It's around this time every year. We don't walk anywhere near as far as we used to - Usualy about 6/7 miles nowadays but we do sing and drink a lot! Shame you can't make it as you would be more than welcome. Cheers Dave |

Seriously though - Thanks for the correction, Nigel :-) That big wooden ladder over a stone wall can be circumvented by walking the whole of around 100 yards down the road, Mr H! But I guess you were not to know. It is pretty much an established camping place rather than a 'wild camp' BTW - There are people there every time we go. Cheers DtG |
