Rosehip Oct 2017 8:29pm, 26 Oct 2017 9,626 posts	0 Rosehip I'm not camping again until Easter! - the ground is so wet it would be no fun at all - but I'm old and out of camping practice - I need a chair that sits straight these days
northernslowcoach Oct 2017 8:34pm, 26 Oct 2017 14,098 posts	0 northernslowcoach That’s what’s putting me off Rosehip, the ground is sodden everywhere
Northern Exile Oct 2017 8:54pm, 26 Oct 2017 4,488 posts	0 Northern Exile It's awful. I went up to Whin Rigg on Saturday via Irton Fell, I don't mind a bit of boggy ground but that was ridiculous.....
Rosehip Oct 2017 9:29pm, 26 Oct 2017 9,627 posts	0 Rosehip The rivers around Carlisle and the A66 home today looked much higher than I remember them being this time last year - hope the rainfall for the next couple of months comes in well below average - otherwise it's going to be more than a bit sodden this winter

flanker Oct 2017 11:25pm, 26 Oct 2017 17,288 posts	0 flanker There was a raven sitting outside Homebase the other day - in central Cambridge. Which is about as far removed from mountains as you can get. Norway is an amazing place.
Rosehip Oct 2017 1:25pm, 27 Oct 2017 9,629 posts	0 Rosehip Really Flanker? I wonder where it lives! I shall look at the big "crows" flying over Sandy Heath a bit closer next time! oo a ferry, now that's a thought......
