Topping up the miles

To help provide some feedback to my 'physio', Alastair (shameless plug 'cos he's very very good - http://www.bowentherapyclinic.net/) I went for a walk round my usual 'Embsay Crag circular' to give a good test of ascent and descent. Last time I did this I was on the phone to my GP as I came past work on the way home - I'd been suffering since 3/4 of the way up the crag. This time around I hoped to get round pain free although I expected some reaction. The success of the treatment was summed up when I managed to land a triple salko off the last stile on the route with no pain. Okay so maybe I exaggerate the triple salko bit but I felt fine all the way without a hint of trouble.
To boot I also found what I believe to be a rabbit skull (I have a fascination with animal skulls although I contest this fascination is not to a weird extent i.e. I leave the skull where I found it!),

and I think I witnessed a couple of butterflies mating (I confess I tried to (gently) separate them naively thinking they’d ‘got tangled up’ but they weren’t prepared to dis-entangle!). I’ll let you make up your own mind which section of the Karma Sutra this is from.

lol mate, I'm not sure which is more worrying: that you have a fascination with skulls or that you felt the need to take a picture of those butterflies ;-)

Good news to report on the knee front here also - mine is feeling a lot better too. I am still not sure how it's going to fare on the day, but I should be able to make halfway at least :-)
