Bush, I've lots of days holiday owed, hence the days off. However, today didn't happen. Due to some folks inability to drive I was held up for nearly two hours on the M65. By the time it was cleared I'd of been very late so I had to turn round and met traffic on the way home!

Good god mate, shame that, especially when you've got your hopes up for the day ahead.

Hopefully next week will make up for things eh!

I've got a long weekend pencilled in mid feb for going away, only trouble is ive got to persuade our Doris to head back up to the Lakes! haha.... watch this space!

I was thinking about heading down to Rutland and having a run out with the Cottesmore, half the trip compared to reaching the lakes from here. In all hoenesty, I'd much sooner be stomping it out over those fells (albeit blowing out my arse) and taking those views in. Nothing better in my book.

 

Quick pic i took last month of a nice little tarn, well stocked with Trout apparently.

Secret location though! haha!!

I knew Soapy back in the day, bloody good singer of hunting songs. From days out with the Fell packs to the 'old' Welsh show, with a pint in hand Soapy turned heads to listen.
