Where is My Cake?

Tonight I met up with the Winter Hillbillies for their Monday night run.  Josie had tempted me along with talk of cake however when I arrived, it soon became apparent that there was indeed no cake!  I felt cheated, like I had been cajoled there under false pretenses.  I nearly got straight back into my car and drove home.

After a little deliberation, I decided that I was probably better off without the cake, given all the swizzles sweeties and Hershey's 'peanut butter pumpkins' I had eaten in work today and so I set off with the gang up through the terraced gardens.

We zigzagged our way up, coming out at the bottom of the Pike and then running up to the top.  The view was amazing tonight.  I have never seen it look so beautiful.  Unfortunately, my camera could never do it any justice so I have no photos and I'm not sure whether anyone else got one but if they did, I'll add it later on.

Edit - Photo by Mark Sammon (unfortunately, and no offence to Mark as it was nothing to do with his photography skills, the photo does the view no justice but it gives an idea of the colours in the sky):

We ran down off the Pike the along George's Lane to the kennels then up to Two Lads.  It was then cross country to the mast and up the road past the trig point.

We ran down the diagonal and, unlike two days ago, I didn't get any ankle problems this time.  Yippee!

We then followed the trod down towards 'Dangerous Corner' then ran along to the 'dogger's' car park and back to the cars at the bottom barn.

No cakes or sweets magically appeared so I'm not going next week.


....joking, kind of.

I won't be back next week but not because of the lack of cake, unfortunately I have other plans, but I'll definitely be back after that as I really enjoyed myself.

Thanks guys!
