Having Something to do does help with the apathy, even against the oppressive heat of Summer [and I don't just mean the 30°+ nonsense of mid-July, either..].
So I went off on a Jolly to the Far North [er, again] and in shock turn of events caught up with two yearticks.
Now, I know most of you aren't even vaguely yearlisty, so we'll not go into details [not least due me getting exactly 0 pictures.. Tut] and just have some actually viewable scenery and so on.
You might remember this place..?

All sorts of interest about in [slightly] less wind than last time.

Moving on...
Somewhere new, somewhere even so rather familiar,
Steep slopes, Oaks...
Oooh, strata...
[What?]
Interesting view.
All manner of woodland and scrubland spp. were heard if not seen [full leaf] in toasty sunshine [well, some people enjoy that sort of thing] and I even got in an hour's watching the sea [though passing gulls and shipping were the only things seen, but hey] during my [slightly late] lunch.
Lovely spot, definitely going back.
:)
Aside from the usual Summer Goons on the roads ["Oh learn to reverse or get an uber!"] and a lack of low-flying [or even high-flying] kites, it was rather fun.
