Walking and Hiking Photo:

My walking buddy Tony on The Calf in The Howgills in late May!
The Howgill Fells,
The Yorkshire Dales National Park,
Cumbria, England

To make matters worse, really fancing a pint, we got down to the Cross Keys at the bottom to find it was a temperance inn! Still, any time on the hills is better than being indoors.
