Yesterday with the family I had a great 10.5 mile walk in the Howgills up to the highest point: The Calf. The well rounded hills were as beautiful as ever and there had been more erosion since we were last there . Some of the ripples of soil creep down the hills, like long steps banding around the hillside had lost their topsoil and the millions of small rocks contained within the soil had just fallen vertically retaining the terraced shape of the original soil creep. Very interesting and I am going back up there soon to inspect these features and because some of them are just losing their topsoil so I can get photos of the gradations of erosion . Drift geology is a blast! After this we visited Fo's Mum at her home and went out for a meal to the "Stagger Inn" , to celebrate her 86th birthday and Fo's sister and her husband and daughter came as well. Home and an episode of Star Trek to finish a gorgeous day.
