Walking: Rosedale - mineral railway clockwise...

 
At the end of August we circumnavigated the dale...
'twas a long old climb up Chimney Bank -
with a 33% gradient, that hill is taking the piss!
The Lion Inn is somewhere behind me...
Haggis, Black Pudding & Bacon in a mustard/whisky sauce is magnificent!
It did start to batter down before we got back to campsite...
even though we hid for a while, we done got wet!
Beautiful day of walking mind...

Photography: we'm bin South!

Aye... Hampshire.
We wandered clay-pits in Swannick...
drank great  coffee
& ate magnifique gateau
at the Barn at Friends Farm...
took a walk along the coast at Lee-on-Solent
(that's the Isle of Wight that is...
& we are now Bluebird Cafe people!)
There was a fair bit o'sitting,
talking bollocks w'old friends! 
A lovely weekend.
