Weather being a bit grim & grisly at present so the planned "Tentering" was turned into a flying visit to the "Trakkerists" roughing it at the Jeggen Treff & here are the highlights.
The view over Jeggen - Argo Avenger 8x8 on arrival - Avenger after playing in the mud - Alkyfrolics at the "Detty" Bier wagon - A return to the residence for afternoon teas & the view - A host of enthralled spotters enjoying the machinery - After the darkness comes light - An old Ursus (Polish) from the 20's/30's - The Witchit (happily waving her "Diesel Wiesel" mug, yes, I was given one too ) Henry & Nessi - A little visitor, so we stuffed him full of bikkys.

Today, we went along the canal to Altham, found our way to the river, then headed back home.
1. These are just so fast.
2. Chugging along the canal.
3. I can see right through your nose.
4. Ducks always seem to look happy.
5. Same to you.
6. Looking back along the river.
7. A fluffy bunny.
8&9. Teaching the young to find food.
10. Almost home, no paintballers today.
Today in pictures is actually yesterdays pictures. You can see this pink blush from many places in the borough, I had to walk through it.
1. A day when the clouds were passing at speed making the light and shade a challenge.
2. Sabden off to the right.
3. I have seen a sign.
4. It doesn't get any closer.
5. That's a bit of extra carving for a gate post in the wilds. Of course it wasn't when this was a busy cart track.
6. Churn Clough Reservoir, base camp before the ascent.
7. I missed out the gasping and panting, and just cut to the placing of the flag.
8. Such a small plant is visible for miles.
9. We let the huskies of the lead for a breather before the descent.
10. Heading away, it looks like the weather is taking a turn for the worst.
I know its developing in too quite a herd. One mine, the next door neighbours, who I take out on Saturdays, and my friend who had his sons dog for the day.
That big brown jobbie was a pain in the asparagus, every time I adopted my down on one knee pose to take a snap, the crazy dog ran up and licked my camera, with a slaver that can only be described as translucent and sticky, with a supply that appeared endless. I was still wiping it off today.
