Bacon and Greenfly

With the weather forcast getting it right for showers I set off late morning for Grassington and parked on the Coniston road below Dewbottom scar (flag)

I'd no where in mind just a wander

choosing the uphill path at any forks

and sheltering a few times for the 10 minute showers

here's a couple for Sticks65

there'd been a fire on the slab but it was all swept away and the site was tidy no rubbish at all

climbing up to look out over the wood at the next shower coming

then headed off the path and continued to climb

heading in the general direction of the Iron age Fort at Gregory Scar

But passing a Bistro spot made a dinner stop, Lavazza coffee on

 then oak smoked bacon with watercress and sliced vine tomatoe on homemade bread

and a tankard of Carlsberg Larger, here's where the Greenfly comes in either bacon smell is a Formone to them ? or 4,000 watt of optimus heat coloumn ? but being under a Sycamore tree they were dropping in the pan thick and fast

I did spot a few Lacewings but only high in the trees, here's one on telephoto

there's not much of Fort Gregory left and what there is is soon going to be covered in Braken for the year

there were a couple of these on the way down

Round-house base ?

Spring is certainly well ahead this year -- just thought I'd share cheers all Dany
