Hartingtn Walk
by The Mind is WillingThanks Derek for a truely beautiful walk. We had good weather, good views, a rainbow, good company and additional attractions - morris dancing with group participation & a saxophonist playing whilst we had a well earned drink. Surely this is unbeatable! 😀

HiHighpeakmanCan I stress how fantastic it has been to share some of my local walks with such a fantastic, funny and appreciative bunch of friends, old and new, who I look forward to meeting on many walks in the future!! 🙂
My pleasure preggy47. It's nice when you have something to point at! Those priceless moments couldn@t go by unnoted. Can't wait to see 46 years young's video on you tube! 😀😀
Thanks for such a great walk on Saturday Derek; lovely company, stunning views and the endless laughter! Not sure I'll ever forgive you for the Morris Dancing though :~😉🙂
DJDebbieJGreat weekend all round Derek- thanks for all the effort in planning such a varied programme for us. Here's to the continued success of the OD Morris dancing and Musical appreciation society!!!😀😀😀

pApreggy47(Andy)As you're new 46YY you're forgiven on this occassion! 😈
Anyway I think my imagination is what's making the tears roll down my cheeks at the moment 😈😈😈
Sorry BJ it sounds like you deserve a medal for your bravery 😉
Thanks Derek for a lovely scenic walk on Sunday and thanks John for intervening in the charge of the cow brigade, I feel I was about to discover whether standing and staring at them rather than running worked or not :~:~. Once again another great bunch, a number of whom I'd not met before 🙂🙂
BGBustaGut (Grant)Thanks all again for some lovely words 🙂, but the walks would have been nothing without you lot!!!!!

Was lovely to meet new members and old members alike 🙂
A belated thank you - but no less sincere - to Derek from me too for a lovely Sat. walk!.. and for his looking after all of us too en route,.. a large herd! - Lovely to meet you all too, and being so friendly and welcoming. Hope to join another one soon.
lolovewalkingCL you can take your marbles out now, don't have to pretend your posh now we all know you.😈
pApreggy47(Andy)Cheeky! 😋
I was in such a rush to sing my praises my fingers got a little clumsy! :~😀
Is that on youtube Stephen?
It sounds as if the Canoe Trek had a brilliant time too but we could teach them a thing or two about Morris dancing, commando training in the rain, cattle herding, local dialects & all weekend pub crawls 🙂🙂
BJBlue John😀😀😀
One of the Friday crew didn't need any training to go commando!!!!😉 🙂
HiHighpeakman😮😮😮:~:~:~:~ too much detail!!!! 😋😈
No names were mentioned,just checking if anyone was paying attention 🙂
BJBlue JohnTake no notice Miss Babs. I was right behind you on the scrambles and can vouch you weren't commando🙂🙂🙂
on 10/09/13 @ 16:45Had to Google VPL. Only been on this site a few weeks but I have learnt so much. What an education it's turning out to be.🙂
DeDekawhat have you learnt deka, prey tell
pApreggy47(Andy)Well, I thought I was a worldly sort of guy experiencing most things in life but, I have now learnt VPL and a word I cannot bring myself to type which, was first mentioned by Forever Lost.
DeDekawhats VPL, oh dear pal has it effected you that bad.😈
pApreggy47(Andy)You know Preggy47. You just want me to type it.
DeDekaVISIBLE PANTY LINE.
There I've shouted it out loud.
I wasn't looking😉
pApreggy47(Andy)I thought Babs had a visible BLOOMER line!!! 😋 😈
HiHighpeakmanI wasn't there on that day so could not possibly comment.
pApreggy47(Andy)No comment 😋
BJBlue JohnBabs watch the 2 dereks, need I say more. Blue john is being entered into the rodeo as one of them clowns who chase off the bulls, hes a natural bull chaser.😈
pApreggy47(Andy)Hi preggy, when I went to head off the bulls I was hoping for backup but you were over the stile & away 😋 At least you didn't call me a bull shifter 🙂
BJBlue JohnAh Babs I know we're both called Derek and both originally from Yorkshire but, I'm the good guy. I only have your interests at heart. As for HPM, definately keep a close watch.
DeDeka😀😀😀 Who, moi? 🙂
HiHighpeakman😈😈😈😈
Thanks Tim it made me giggle all over again. I think for the sake of everyone else those attending the christmas bash who took part should repeat this performance! 😈😈
Yes its good & they were all good to give it a go, thanks Tim 🙂 Maybe we should invent our own version with walking poles 🙂
BJBlue Johniv just watched it and its fantastic what a laugh.BJ that's a good idea, new spin on pole dancing😈
pApreggy47(Andy)And here's me thinking only the girls liked to dance!! 😈😈😈😈
We all like to let our hair down sometime Love just wish i had some to let down lol
FlForever lostjk28 looked as though she'd done it before. - Secret morris dancer if you ask me.
DeDekaNot me Deka!! I was sitting on the wall enjoying the performance!! 😀😀😀
JKJK28Sorry JK28 I wasn't introduced to you at the Devonshire after the walk. So who's that in the hoops on the video?
