Rubber Gloves anyone?

Gorse Fox has walked this way before. This is Cow Bottom Hovel, at the lowest point of Cow Bottom. GF likes this spot, but remembers the stiff climbe up the far side.

Dead slow, and low gear. That was the plan fro the hill. GF slowed his pace to half his normal rate, and started the climb. The technique worked a treat and GF got to the top without a "photo stop".

This was the final stretch, just one field to go, and the Gorse Fox completed the route.
