We had a slow start to the day again.  It was a bit overcast and showery.  But not to be deterred we packed a picnic lunch and the thermos and headed off for a walk (well we drove there and then we were going to walk).  When we got to the start of the walk it was mountain goat country and the rain had go quite heavy so we just kept driving along the little narrow lane (Jude didn’t like the driving much because there always seemed to be a vertical drop from her side of the road) with lots of blind corners and long stretches where you couldn’t pass. 

After a while we found ourselves up on a ridge overlooking quite a picturesque valley so we decided to stop and have lunch, in the car, as it was still raining and by this stage the wind was quite strong.  While we were eating our lunch a little red Royal Mail van drove down the track in front of us and delivered some mail to a farm.

After lunch we set the NavMan to take us home, we dutifully followed instructions until we were directed to turn down a little lane that had a sign on it “No suitable for vehicular traffic”, we ignored that and kept driving.  Quite quickly the NavMan had worked out another route and we got home after being away for about three and half hours.  As it turned out we had done a big loop.

Jude spent the rest of the afternoon reading while I fiddle with a program to load the NavMan and data logger tracks into Google Maps.

Pizza for tea tonight.
