Heading along the road that gives you a stunning view over the Tees Valley. It was at this point I gave Gary the best laugh of any of these walks, as I lost my footing on the side of the road, twisted my ankle, and did two pretty impressive somersaults on the side of the road. The only thing I managed to break was a bag of crisps in my bag, and although the alnkle's a bit stiff this morning (typed the day after the walk), I wasn't any the worse for it.

Walk #1 of 2012, Gary and I make a return trip to Osmotherley, this time to catch the reservoir and surrounding areas in all of their springtime glory.

2012 has seen record temperatures for March, and this day proves it more than any other, as it was absolutely scorching. The daffodils are in full bloom, grassed areas have began to pring into greenery, and the frogs / toads have returned to watery areas to copulate like there's no tomorrow.

And, my right knee, from this moment is officially goosed. Towards the end of 2011, I'd kept off the walks in the hope that my right knee would "heal", or at least stop hurting whenever I went downhill. Some six months after our last walk, my knee is still giving me pain. Grrrr.
