a walk in the sun

Is there a better way to spend a sunday afternoon than to go for a walk in the spring sunshine over the Yorkshire Dales?

Walking in the sunshine is all very well, but I came home with a bit of sunburn on the back of my neck. I must buy myself some sort of wide-brimmed hat for such days. I’ve got a cricket hat, but I’m not sure if that’s really suitable for walking over hill and dale. Great at keeping the sun off your neck, but you may look a bit silly.

    I was up Pen-y-Ghent on Saturday, as it happens :) . Wasn’t quite so sunny though.

    Well yes, a Sunday afternoon walk in the spring sunshine over the Brecon Beacons… ;-)

    As for the hat, a baseball cap worn backwards would be light and portable, no? Heh.

    But then I’d look like one of these “chavs” I hear about on the news. Yuck.

    [I was joking, honest] The mental image I have of you would never, but never, wear a baseball cap, backwards or otherwise :-)
