Actually I think it is that most of us have actually grown up, rather than grown older, which is not the same thing.

Will do as I have always done on the 6th, drive up to green haworth and look down on accrington and see the smoke hanging over the town, must take a pic this time. Takes me back to the days of the old coal fire

Aye there is some thing in that a-b, but there must be a lot of peter pan's out there then

I tend to agree A-B. I’ll be going up to the Lakes first thing in the morning it will be interesting to see how it effects the weather conditions up there and the air quality…. Park say hello to the place.

Have you got room in the boot for a little un and his dog, Doug?

Will do Doug, where are you headin for up the lakes? must get back up there myself on the fells

If you can help push my knackered old body up the fell side of Fairfield you’d be most welcome. Last week I was up Skiddaw from Uillock Pike and Long Side Edge. The weather was closed in before leaving Dodd Wood car park by the time I got on to the scramble up to Long Side the rain was torrential with the wind gusting up to 50 miles per hour. I’ll tell you what a fantastic day, you couldn’t see a thing but the smell of the air and the effort it took to get up there was something you can’t really buy. The wind and rain give way by the time I reached Carl Side and the sun broke through as I was having a pee at white stones the rest of the day was pleasant but not has demanding.

Hi Park, Hopefully just a little walk up Seat Sandal and then Fairfield. Should be a pleasant stroll really. If I’m up early and the weather isn’t too bad I’ll extend it out to include Dove and Hart Crags.

No, I still use a map and compass, I bought the Memory Map software which is pretty good and allows you to trace out your route and emergency descent’s in detail. Apart for that and a old mobile for keeping the family aware of changes or emergences, I prefer to dig in and sit out inclement weather rather than abort a walk, the bloody thing got soaked last week and I had to replace it with another old one for which I bought a little case with a rain cover. That said I’d like one never the less.

I use the Anquet mapping system, can connect gps to pc and upload routes on to gps, also downloaded routes I have walked from gps to the pc. Similar to the memory map system you can upload your routes on to their data base for other people to use, have uploaded 20 or so walks, round Horton and Kentmere. http://anquet.co.uk/routes.asp

How foolish am I......? I thought that with November the fifth being on a Saturday night we would get the fireworks over and done with on the night......but no the rocket launchers are out again tonight......do you think they went out and bought more supplies today at Asda.....seeing as they were 25% off.?

[Gayle]

Yes, I've just posted on another thread about that Margaret - it's the same around here. I'm bored with it now!

[Margaret Pilkington]

It doesn't say in the verse ' remember, remember the 4th 5th and 6th of November' does it....? The cats are wondering why they are getting a reprise of last night......and my knees are like ashen blotty!
