Hard Hike

Sunday 11th and a hard hike to brush the cobwebs away. A little known walk, we only came across a handful of people on the whole route. Starting off in Fanling, it was up, up and, er ... up. The mountain in the background is where we're headed.






























(Below) Stopping for a breather on top of an old British Army bunker dug into the hillside.































(Below) The top ... still a long way off ...















Despite the sun, there was a good breeze on top that helped keep the temperature down.














(Below) Cliff makes it to the top marker first - naturally.






























The way down towards Yuen Long area ...mostly ridge walking with a fairly steep drop each side. Here the haze and pollution was most obvious as the sun moved lower into the sky as the day went on.

UK Visit

We both went to the UK for my sister's wedding in October. It was a lovely time and the first holiday together since we met. Here's Tabs in my Mum's garden in Leeds.














After a night at Mum's we drove up to Ilkley where we'd have a night together and then meet my Grandma the next morning who would join us there for the night before the wedding. Each morning the sheep would come to the front lawn and join us for breakfast.














The next morning we walked up to the Cow and Calf, over- looking the whole of Ilkley. A spectacular bit of Yorkshire scenery.











































(Below) Me, Tabs, my Grandma, Mum, Lucy and bridesmaid Lee (Yes) the night before the wedding.

And both emerge man and wife. Good on ya, Sook!
