Expedition!

We are determined to manage without our car for a couple more days. Rob needed petrol for his strimmer and as the weather is good for mowing he needed it today.
We walked to The Helm, noticed that it said ‘Road Closed’ but took the Helm lane anyway. We met another walker who said the road was up and we should divert over the hill. That didn’t work! It’s all grown up a lot since FOLD took over. We went back to the lane, and squeezed past the workmen, who were very good natured. 
The petrol station was open, so Rob filled up and we took the road through Oxenholme. There we spotted a hedgehog looking rather sickly, we put it in a hedge.
As we struggled up the station hill the Inn came into sight, and we thought a pint might be a good idea. It was!
Some while later we set off again, and it was getting rather hot, so when we reached Beehive Lane I offered to take the can for  a while. 2 gallons of fuel is heavy!
Anyway a final push up the hill and we made it!
Cup of tea in the sunshine and we were fine!
