I've just had a lovely couple of day walking with Sunnydale on her home patch, the Derbyshire Peaks. High moorland, steep rocky paths and deep "Cloughs".
Or rather should I say, "am still having", cos I haven't gone home yet.
(Please note that to Sunnydale and some other walkers in the UK I am not known as the Ugly Fat Bastard, but instead called, "The Yeti").
Anyway, Sunnydale is very kind and brought a laptop out for me to rest on the stone gateway so I could keep in touch.
When I saw this gateway towards the end of a great six hour walk, I said, "and where are the stone steps over it?"
"Stone steps Yeti?. No. You've got to slide through between those two stone pillar things".
Gulp.
"Sunny...... What do I do now?".
"Lose some weight Yeti! ".
Sunny tells me that the food she is bringing me, (three small lettuce leafs a day) will soon make me a smaller Yeti. Then I can go home.
But I still like the UK Peaks. And the walk that took us through Bretton Clough was superb.

PPS. I didn't really know where to stick this, (as the Bishop said to the Actress), but decided against making it a humorous Custom Object to avoid infecting the core of SP with something trivial like this. In the end I thought it could come here as it is walking related and will soon slide down the page and disappear into the ether far faster than my beer gut will! And it does include Slander as my parents were both married, (but not to each other!......
yes they were really).
