There is no narrative for this "walk report"! Some will understand why. Just thought I would share some photos. I took an old camera which I have almost discarded, the last photos were taken on it almost 18 months ago! I just felt that I had enough to carry without taking a DSLR.

No leather armchairs anymore. There was a manky mattress upstairs.

I used the last two pieces of peat. Users, including myself :oops: , have not been cutting it.

I did clean out the fireplace and left some kindling however.

I also donated a 10kg bag of coal to a group of four setting off as I arrived back at the car. I wimped out of carrying it myself!

I must be slow - not clear to me why you didn't put a bit of text in. It looks from the pix as if it was a pretty fine trip. :)
