GPS

The other day, Daddy bought a keyring GPS to measure how far I 'walk' compared with him. He bought it on eBay.

I wore it for the first time on our recent walk up Dow Crag and Coniston Old Man and the results show that I walked 3 times as much as Daddy on Walna Scar (open ground). Funnily enough, Evan Davis was on yesterday's Saturday PM programme on radio 4 saying the same thing. Overall I did 2 times as much from the start to Goat's Water. Daddy had to take it off then because of my love of swimming! It doesn't look as though you can download my route, which is a shame, but here is Daddy's. Notice the Brocken spectre at the top of the Old Man. Daddy got really excited when he saw this.

The Lake District is fabulous (part 1)

Daddy said I would enjoy it and I did! I have learned to swim and Daddy can't keep me out of the water. I climbed three peaks - Beacon Fell (twice), Brockbarrow and Lingmoor and I walked from Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater and back. I could have done a lot more but apparently this would be bad for my joints and bones at my age. (The only downside is the number of ticks I got - yuck!) I can't wait to go back again. As soon as I arrived home, I jumped into the pond!

Here are some pictures of my exploits.
