  1. Was up on Larriston Fells yesterday(Liddlesdale). There is a mast, probably police up there about
    1km short of the summit. NY561915

    The electricity board had called on the previous Monday, left a card, as nobody was in :-) asking
    for a meter reading.

    Any polis reading - especially Lothian and Borders - get up there and read your meter!

    And one other thing - I see the current 1:50 000 map shows a path to the summit.. No there is
    not - just tussocks bog and roughness.- plenty of intermittant sheep trods to soften the going,
    but no path!

    Please tell me you took a photo. The local paper would probably just love that to stick in the "Now
    for something completely different" section.

    79.84% of all statistics are made up on the spot. The other 42% are made up later on. In Warwick -
    looking at flat fields and that includes the castle.

    Not unusual, quite often found envelopes notifying of interruptions in supply at similar sites -
    usually been there for many months as they might only get visited once a year and several envelopes
    for different site users.

    Yes.. Still Sitka Hell. What a relief to pop out onto the moor.

    Good track as far as the mast - worth doing this on a bike. Rough from the mast to the trig.

    Yes I did....

    I should have filled it in and posted it, but as I now contribute to the upkeep of Lothian and
    Borders' finest, that may have been expensive.

    I don't have a bike unfortunately. Nowhere to keep it in my flat, three flights up. One day...
