Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Half/Stop]

I did this walk 3 weeks ago with my son Peter who came to visit in the hols...
Gulaga aka Mt Dromedary is the highest point on the east coast of Australia...its part of the Great Dividing Range ...the thinking is its the highest that can be seen from the sea...Mt Kosziusko in the Snowys is the highest in the country.
Its an epic trudge...5hrs return...last time I did it I was in my 30s...

Its a place of cultural significance...plus a lot of gold was dug out up there in the olden days...the waters that flow off it still contain gold...but you didnt hear that from me....The real treasure is the Antarctic Beech forest on the south west slope...a remnant of when Australia was joined to Antarctica and dinosaurs roamed there....
Cheers.

Great photos Meako! It looks like quite a scenic trip!

The trail began to steepen as I walked between hedgerows, and I was glad I had my staff with me. I did manage to find a few blackberries along the way though.

At the top of the hill, I had to cross the busy Leeds-Harrogate road again, but my reward awaited at the Harewood Arms

And when I got back home, I had gathered just enough blackberries for a small crumble

Beautiful country side, you are a lucky man, and good that you can get out to enjoy it again. I could hike through that country in any weather.

Thanks Barrett, I might watch that series again (I've watched it twice already)! That area might turn up some goodies, the castle is the NEW Harewood Castle! The previous one was across the river

Same here, Jack. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it when I first watched it.

“New.”

Great photos, meako, thanks for sharing! I didn’t realize how big those rocks were in your second-to-last photo until I noticed your son in the bottom corner.

I am cold, deprived, and starving.
I am in a dark mood.
I am without a Lambsfoot!
Please give me a grand one Jack.
Made by a man from Sheffield.
Throw it over the pond, and I’ll thank you.

Because, as they say in Leeds, “A man is not a man without a Lambsfoot!”

Jack, I find that aches and pains are okay if you enjoyed getting them! It looks like things are maybe improving in your neck of the woods. I’m afraid there’s really no improvement to speak of around here!

I agree Ron, when I first started rock-climbing or weight-training for example, I ached like anything, but in a GOOD way I'm not sure it is QUITE the same now, but it still comes with a certain sense of satisfaction Of course I miss the years when aches and pains were few and far between It's hard to tell with the virus here Ron, might just be a lull in the storm, but you are certainly still in the middle of the storm there my friend, and it's a cruel one. Stay safe

Thanks mate, I do consider myself lucky to have such splendour right on my door-step

I remember you saying Barrett, it's very 'gentle', and the countryside is quite stunning Not bad for an old pirate!

Fantastic pic my friend, your 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot really is a Bobby Dazzler

Good Morning Guardians! Found the thread on page 2! Hope everyone's week is off to a good start Thanks for the entries to my Yorkshire Day giveaway, and if you haven't committed yet, I hope you'll give it a shot

The sun is out here for a change, not sure what I have on today, but I'll try and find an excuse to at least have a walk round the block. Plenty of stuff to do in the house, but it'd be nice to get some fresh air Have a great day folks, and stay safe out there

Thanks Jack. Pam and I are vigilant and conscious in everything we do that is outside the confines of our own spaces.

Good morning Guardians !

Went camping this past weekend and brought along my African Rosewood Lamb

This weasel ( or mink ... I don't know ) could not resist the bits and pieces of fish laying on the ground after I was done cleaning fish with my rather crude skills ( note the scales on the ground )

My African Rosewood stealthy approach managed to catch a Heron off guard

If you used your lambsfoot to process that fish you're lucky the weasel didn't take off with your lambsfoot! I'm sure it was smelling great to the weasel. Great photos though.

I used a knife designed for fish but we shall not mention the name of said knife on this lambsfoot thread hallowed halls
My African Rosewood mainly likes to sit snug and comfy in my pockets , the main reason it gets called for cutting duties is when my wife or kids can not find a knife to make their sandwiches

This weasel ( or mink ... I don't know )

I think it's a weasel. Minks are bigger with longer tails. Maybe blacker too.
I saw one at about 6' distance in my apartment's parking lot by the Huron River. It made me suspicious of some of the the bigfoot-sighting dismissals. I heard it first, and thought, "It'll be one of those rabbits somebody dumped here." But it had no ears to speak of, so I thought, "That's a funny looking cat". Long, slinky-like body; short legs, conical head, extra long cylindrical tail, no pointy ears- very strange cat. My mom went through a similar process with a large and funny looking dog running along Julia Lake Road, before she realized it was a bear.
Point being, both of us tried hard to see something ordinary.

Sun's up, I'm up, what's up?
