Feet Up

The Path Less Travelled haven't been up to a great deal this past week as we are in a cast recovering from foot surgery. However we have taken the opportunity to read 2 books;
Echoes by Nick Bullock (the escape of a Prison Officer from the hell of the wing to the beauty of the worlds mountain ranges) and
Otter Country by Miriam Darlington (in search of the wild otter).
Both are highly recommended
 

Last one to fall off ....This is the traverse wall that TPLT built for a Primary School in Lincolnshire over the Summer holidays.
