Adder alert

To make up for yesterday's lazy day I met some friends in Simonside car park at 8.15am. We hoped to walk the tops westward and get to Hepple Bridge before the rain. We managed it, just. It was a lovely walk in hot sun. I hope that's not the end of our summer.

The insert is a baby adder we saw - I only had my phone and with the sun I didn't see the quality setting was at low resolution so this was the only way I could show you my first adder of the season. It is the only poisonous snake in UK.

We had a good 6 or 7 mile walk and got back to the car just as the thunder started.

My Fitbit has disintegrated beyond repair which is why I don't know the distance. What a waste of money that was and of course it is out of the guarantee. Does Map my walk use data roaming? I don't want that on abroad.
