A gloriously sunny morning, so a quick trip up Clough Head. This time we went along the Old Coach Road that circles behind Threlkeld Knotts. At Hausewell Brow the track is fenced continuously, but a gate allows access to go up the path over White Pike and then onto the summit. Now, on the way up at the farm at the bottom, we had met Meg - a gorgeous young collie that scrambled under the fence to say hello...we dutifully encouraged her back under the fence to the farmer. Who should be at the summit of Clough Head but Meg. A quick phone call to the farmer (she had a tag), before we continued down across Red Screes with Meg in regular attendance, playing with Rocky most of the way. Rocky is now very tired! We met the farmer at the bottom and were able to return the lovely Meg, who clearly had been everywhere this morning - not just with us! Anyway a lovely morning out.
