Flying to Santa Cruz Island tomorrow for a bit more walking about and chillaxing.

I'll keep you updated.


Nice one, Finchy. Are you on the Azores? Always fancied it - looks a bit like Ireland/Scotland same weather too/ old stone houses etc.

Is the weather hot?

Santa Cruz da Flores is a green and pleasant land,23°C today,hardly tropical but very civilised.
I was talking to a few twitchers here today, they were getting a bone on about some lost American warbler.They were not too impressed when i told them to go on holiday to america where there are fucking loads of them.
Small island with only 4000 residents,not seen much crumpet although the bird in reception is a tidy Ukranian.
Here for a couple of days then moving on to another island.
No beaches worth talking about here and no anorexic tattooed hoodie wearing chavs.

Tchau for now.

I'm thinking of walking striding edge in the lakes. Ive not done a ridge walk before but I read that's a good one to try. If the weathers not great I. I might give it a miss. Planning on doing halls fell ridge on blencathra. Sharp edge looks too scary.

Maybe Shabba and Kevin, from memory Bobby, maybe others. One of my work colleagues is currently on their second trip there. She does driving around and happy to get any info for you.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.
