Contrary to the forecast it got progressively more drizzly until we gave up half way round and headed back. Where it stopped raining, naturally.

Is there anything out there?

Some photos, the odd break in the cloud helped, otherwise it would have been very boring.

Clouds over the hills

What wasn't boring was being chased through a field by a bunch of rowdy teenage cows. They just wouldn't leave us alone and crowded round the gate at the end in eerie silence.
