Mark Ireland, Andrew Hogarth and I were all set for a classic hut to hut ski tour in the Silvretta Alps on the Austria / Switzerland border. Everything was booked and even the weather was looking settled and very promising. Then coronavirus got in the way.
Socially distanced walking at the top of Pen Hill.
Frank led a great walk today up Pen Hill.

Along Scots Dike to Stanwick – 26 May
I have driven from Richmond to Stanwick and have also cycled but never walked, so with the possibility of being able to do this as a linear walk, I plotted a route with my new OS online mapping skills (10 miles). Thanks Geoff W for all your help.
Three Walks for the Price of One
Having returned to the UK on Friday 20 March my plan was to swap my sailing kit for walking kit and head out into the hills as soon as possible with my SOC friends. The UK going into lockdown three days later put paid to that little plan.
Coalsgarthdale 7 May 2020
I donned my shorts for the first time this year on another sunny day in lockdown and headed off for a solitary walk as Ron was busy with his lockdown project of building a shed cum summerhouse at the bottom of the garden.
I visited Hackfall Woods near Masham on 30 April. They are magnificent at the moment in their spring finery and I took a few photos of the bluebells.

Bluebells at Aske
I looked at the SOC walk programme for today and realised that a walk from Gunnerside was out of the question so I headed out from my front door on a short (5 mile) walk.
There were 13 lucky souls out to enjoy the sunshine in Upper Teesdale.
I have just received this brief email from Trevor -
Race postponed for 10 months. Need to be out of the Philippines by Thursday night. Depending whether l need to go into UK quarantine l should be back on the hill with SOC reasonably soon.
