Priest's Gyhll Expedition Part 4. Hello!

4th April. As we were walking down Priest's Ghyll who should we see walking up the far side of the Gyhll across the stream? Alison and her family who are also undertaking a John Muir award! The photos are of them taken by us and of us taken by them! We had a socially distanced chat across the stream before carrying on in our different directions. After we fought our way through the jungle of the ghyll we came out near the River Keekle. Exploring the lesser known territory was wonderful as was then saying hello to the familiar view! See the stone bridge shown going over the stream not far before it meets the Keekle? When we went on a West Cumbria Rivers Trust walk and talk along the Keekle last year, they told us that otter droppings had been found under that very bridge! This day we saw no evidence of otters but the children did say hello to some little creatures and their eggs living in a rock.
