Interesting council by elections last night. 3 Labour defences, 3 Lab defeats. But…1 Lib Dem win, 1 Plaid win + 1 Green win. Reform 2nd, 3rd and 6th. Cons 2 5th places and a no show. looks like voters beginning to vote tactically for party most likely to beat Reform in their ward. @electionmaps.uk

Someone asked me yesterday why I like walking. This is the answer! Helm Crag above Grasmere with a view to Easedale Tarn. It’s perfect on a day like today. 😻

Another book on the way is this volume of classic rock journalism. Includes Murray’s eviscerating review of an early Clash gig. Read it and smirk 😏

A 4 Wainwright Walk today. At last I got up Skiddaw then Little Man, Lonscale Fell and Finally Latrigg - which I didn’t finish last month. Had to paddle in a beck 😬 but got over with wet boots and socks! Still some snow on Helvellyn. Now for 🍻 and 🥧
