'Bugger Off': I didn't have to cross the fence onto this bit of moorland but would it really have mattered? Obviously to this landowner. |
Well I have been slaving over the old Remington for the last
few weeks getting my thesis finished. It was bound yesterday, but not gagged, and is now
ready to be taken to Milton Keynes by privatised Postman Pat as soon as I can
figure out his complex pricing system.
So that job being done and almost dusted, I was able to reward myself
with three or four hours in the hills today to let the eyeballs unravel or
whatever it is eyeballs do when they have been ravelled up for weeks.
Not having lots of time I pootled along to the local uppy
bits which are near Llangollen and parked the Model T in an old quarry at the foot of
Trevor Rocks. Although it has been glorious weather all week it was now tipping
it down so I pulled on the waterproofs (well the Gore Tex trousers are
waterproof, the top half of me was in Paramo), made Hyperdog Moss put on his
smart red coat as it was a bit nippy and we headed off. After less than thirty
seconds the rain stopped and it stayed away for the whole walk which in my book
is what is known as a 'result'.
