Text received from Dave about 4:30pm today

Brilliant! In the theatre 9.00, out at 13.30. That happy juice is great %-)

Visiting: June has asked folk to hang on for a while but I suspect Dave may have other ideas :)

Dave has been transferred to Sunderland this evening.

Cross Fell 3pm Thursday 5th Feb

Calm down, calm down - it's only a photo!

Most of the day it has been N-NE at about 5mph max so not really flyable but what a lovely sight to see.

Won't be long now to springtime thermals and ridge soaring opportunities.

Roll-on.
