Feeling a bit jealous of you Yorkshire Yellow. I didn't do any on the weekend. Have just gone for a couple of quick CNDs to try any make up for it, would of liked to have done a nice walk though.

I managed to persuade Mrs YY to do that one as we're in week 3 of 3 without children (bliss!) and she wants to join me and my Dad on a climb of Scafell in October, so I said she had to do this walk to see how she got on, as she hasn't done this sort of walking since before she had our two kids. She did fine. Here's a couple of photos of our day: -

Those photos want me to set off in that direction and go do the walk myself! I have a day off too But I have been set chores like cleaning the bathroom It looks like you had a great day for the walk, always a bonus when on higher elevation.
Is the climb in October for caching, or just general fun?
I did manage one cache today, early this morning just after dropping Tracy at work. The Church Micro in Edgeworth, which I had a DNF on over 4 years ago.
Tried one of sparklefingers multies yesterday afternoon, but failed at there.

Gackt, the climb in October is just for fun. Mrs YY is cache-tolerant, as you know, but my father usually has his "I don't get it" face on when I talk about caching. There are probably half a dozen or so caches I'll manage to take our walk past. I will also trying to get to Lakes webcam cache and the Cathedral Cavern cache, plus whatever we happen to be close to or passing on our family walks and days out.
We're also going to do Snowdon in March (weather dependant) with the kids (4 & 8), when we're near Porthmadog for a week, so will get the new-ish earthcache up there and the Llanberis webcam cache. I've done the virtual and physical cache on the top of Snowdon already, when I climbed it for my father's 70th.
Today walked the Putney Pootle series of 20 caches down in Somerset, we have now adopted the series as the CO was going to archive the series which would be a great shame
Would like to get and do more than the odd one here and there, but that's still the way it is currently. Today I found one in Bibury, which I see Yorkshire Yellow found recently.
I also visited AV8 at Kemble where I completed a TerraCaching LC with this snap..

Yesterday - Being without kids I donned my running gear and ran round the ThickRidge Eight series. En-route I picked up a challenge cache based on favourites points It chucked down just after my last find, so I sheltered it the old red phone box is was hidden in, and then sprinted the last 0.25 mile or so back to the car after it had eased off a touch. On the way home I found a couple of Church Micros and then hit 2000 finds by finding zeusfaber's Geo-Odyssey.
Tomorrow - We're picking the kids up from Mrs YY's parents, meeting at Wightwick Manor near Wolverhampton, a National Trust property. There are three caches in the grounds which I'll get, if circumstances allow.
I thought about diverting to Marston Meysey to attempt that FTF as we were heading out to do the Driffield ring, but glad I did not as you would have beaten us to it by about 10 minutes! We had an enjoyable afternoon of RoobyDoo caches, passing 200 finds of his caches
Congrats YY on your milestone, today made a start on the Megalithic 4 challenge cache having picked it up a event in Bath last night. First location visited three to find
