The fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal, always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest, the exhilaration of the summits. These are for the seeking and those who seek and find while there is still time will be blessed both in mind & body. AW- Book 7 The Western Fells.

Derek,

Last night's BBC North West programme is on iPlayer (drag the bar to 10.08 to start the report). Saw the auction on Facebook - great stuff!

Excellent news, Derek. We couldn't have let them go to America!
