A Very Big Walk

So here we are, getting ready for another walk. And we are going up...

...there. Those of you who did the 3 peaks walk earlier this year will particularly remember this.

This is Whernside, the highest hill in Yorkshire. And we are going up it. Madness. MADNESS!!

Well we had better get on with it then. At least i am a passenger for most of the way!!

Fortunately the way is well sign posted. Its really warm and sunny though.

Must be quite hard for dad. Shame!! You shouldn't drag me up these stupid things then should you!!

Here is mum putting her best foot forward. For once she's not at the back.

The views are pretty fantastic though. You can see for miles.

Are we there yet?

You don't see this very often. We were buzzed by a bomber, which is pretty strange as we were actually higher up than it!!

This is about half way up and it is pretty spectacular.

Are we there yet?

Now this is the bit where dad normally says 'we are near the top, just over that rise'.

And this is the bit where Auntie Ellen will tell you there are about 5 more tops before we get there!!

However, to be fair to dad it's not that much further and here we are at the top.

Right, time to find somewhere comfy for lunch.

What do you mean, did i pack the sandwiches!! You had better be kidding!!

And i don't know why you are looking so happy and proud of yourself - we stil have to get back down!!
