Dearest,

I miss your pondering eyes set me astray. However, my torment is soon over
because Sunday we will meet again in Coniston, a small town north-east
of Hull, in the country of infinite flatness and windmills. It almost
feels like home. A great country to practise the Bogle Stroll.

We have four hikes, I hope that's enough for everybody's liking.

1) The horseshoe ridge, for whom hill tops are scratches on a bedpost.
Up Wetherlam, around  the ridge and off at the far side of the Old
Man at Wanla Scar road. Depending on the time, a small detour to Great
Carrs. Views in all directions.
18km, 1000m ascend

2) Up the front of the Old Man of Coniston, off the back, via the village
Torver to Lake Coniston, and back to Coniston along the shore. A big
climb to start with, but easier going for the rest of the way. Don't
start too fast.  
15km, 750m ascend

3) To The Tarns (lake), a bit of fields, a bit of forest, a bit of
lake, and a bit of the Cumbria way. Exploring north of Coniston. 
10km, 250m ascend

4) Along the shore of Lake Coniston and back through the fields and the
feet of the hills, via Torver.
14km, 180m ascend


Yours truly,
            the hikes organiser; 
                                de wandelmeester, 
                                                 Norbert
