if you saw me today yes,i was that idiot!
Had two hours to kill before a meeting in York thought i would pay Redhouse a visit,bumped into a local guy who said he had been walking the area for over 50 years,and offered to show me all the best spots, he suggested we do a circular walk and end up back at the main entrance, an hour and half on the walk and with the end in site it became apparent that we were rapidly running out of grass to walk on (owing to the floods) "never seen it this bad" he said two options walk all the way back or???
yep boots and socks off, trousers up to the knees and a slow stroll ankle deep in the water for the last 30 yards what a pleasant stroll!! it was like last of the summer wine!!
arrived for meeting less boots and socks and covered in mud, but a totally brilliant afternoon.
