This was supposed to be a quick blast out to blow away some cobwebs after both having bad colds. The walk took in a couple of caches im on top of the world mar – LWW 2 and Riser which we found a couple of Travel Bugs as well. The walk took us along the Cleveland Way over Carlton Moor and then through the woods on our way into Faceby. Once in Faceby we took the “short cut” back up to the Cleveland Way heading towards Little Bonny Cliff and Faceby Bank. After strudgling up a path that was basically a stream and mud we then came to the worst bit. An almost vertical scramble through the woods until we hit the main walk again. Once out of the woods it was a fairly easy walk back to Lord Stones for Mugs of coffee and chip butties.

Planted 200 Porcelain Hardneck Garlic cloves today. I much prefer the porcelain garlic as they have large strong flavoured cloves and very easy to peal. The plan is to keep half and then plant half next year, so we can keep being self sufficient in garlic for a few years.
They also produce a scape, if the scapes are left on the plants to mature, they each produce hundreds of tiny bulbils which can be planted to produce full-sized bulbs in about three years. You can also fry them and eat in stir-frys.
