Out with friends walking the Staffordshire Way from Abbots Bromley to uttoxeter. To be fair lovely in places with the occasional overgrown bit.

The consultation continues. Getting a steady stream of feedback. Enjoyable chatting to residents. The Makers Market was also on, a very pleasant morning.

Chilling out at the end of the day.

Oops.

Off for a cycle with friends.

Made a mistake…. Didn’t see the ‘no cycling’ sign when we entered cotton dell.

Very challenging terrain, only found out it was ‘no cycling’’ at the end.

26 august 2021

Off to the Yeaveley Arms which holds a monthly vintage vehicle event.

Two friends were staying, so off on the tractors to yeaveley. Took us well over an hour to travel 9 miles!!! others were also travelling over an hour to get there.

Great event.

A lovely evening.

Arrived in Kendal about 20:00, so quickly up to Indie Craft Beer shop/pub. A great selection of beers and a very knowledgable owner.

Always enjoy my walking in the lakes.

Off to Cumbria to pick a tractor part up I got on eBay.

The sensible approach would have been to get them to post it. It’s big and heavy so would have cost around £60.

Plan B was to go up there and spend a few days up there. Cost £83 fuel. Accommodation £5 (stayed on a pub carpark – free, cricket ground £5). Car parking £2.80. Excluded food & drink as I would have had this anyway.

So net cost for a few days in the lakes £30. Not bad ??

18 august 2021

Off to my sons new house for a spot of decorating. A 90 min drive then a long day decorating.

The good news is that my son is getting better at DIY ?

Feeling a bit tired, not had an easy day for at least 12 days… but enjoyed it.

Off for a walk with Kevin today. Not been out walking together for a while.

A lovely 15 mile walk from Monyash, to Tissington onto the Monsal trail and into Ashford in the water.
