Grimwith is aptly named. Wild country indeed. Nice one NE!

DT, you'll know this: is partridge shooting common in Yorkshire? I've never seen them before, but they were wandering everywhere at Grimwith. Also found a lot of them hung behind a shooting hut (and pheasant), it's clearly the season.

The OS 3d aerial thingy of that area makes it look very isolated and bleak and rather beautiful. Sounds like a grand day out :)

Grimwith reservoir circuit is a regular weekend dog walk for us and red legged partridge are seen often. A lap of the Red makes a nice recovery run too ;)

Must be pretty isolated - if the local pheasant shoot left theirs hanging like that they'd all be gone in 24 hrs

Anyone done the Goatfell race on Arran ?

Last time I was on Arran was as a 15 or 16 year old on a family holiday and I walked up Goatfell with my dad. Seem to recall it was a long day, hopefully manage it a bit quicker this time round :-)
