- Whatever else its name might imply, Nicky Nook is not for the faint-hearted rambler. It's a fell, towering over Grizedale Reservoir in the Wyre, with a trig point, excellent views of the coast and a lack of defibrillators. How Jeanie McIntosh managed to get up it, I'll never know...unless we manage to locate the corpse, of course.
I too had tears of laughter, I did the same walk with my husband, your breakdown of this walk is on point. Really, that bench, I sat on that with my head in my hands.
They don't call it the 'Climb of Oblivion' for nothing. (Actually, they don't call it the 'Climb of Oblivion' at all. I just made that up, because it seemed fitting.)
Oh God! This was the funniest one yet! Tears are rolling down my face!
I have the same problem when my boxers are too tight. 🤪
The French word for dandelion is pissenlit, which amused me!
I believe the olde English word was 'Pissabed', hence the saying 'Never drink a full bottle of Dandelion and Burdock before retiring for the night'.
Literally LOL. Don't make any intelligent remarks Brian, such as come give it a gander yerself Theodora.
This was funny and lovely actually. I hope you are both doing well!
And;
I'd never be able to make it. I can't even walk a half mile these days and breathe proper. 👍🏻❤️
You're up early, Theodora. I haven't even put the links up to the usual Wordpress and Facebook pages yet. (Or had my first coffee of the morning to kickstart my brain.) :)
See. It’s not just me that gets lost 😂😂😂
I have a worse sense of direction than one of those magnets they used to put in the soles of boots when I was a kid.
My friend Maria who lived in Bispham at the time, once told me and my partner that she had been up 'Nicky Nook'. I said "Ok Maria, where is this fictional nook?" She assured me that it existed and that it had a loud echo. Is this true? Bill
It definitely exists. I've never heard about it having a loud echo before though. Mind you, by the time you reach the top you can hardly breathe, so I've never put it to the test. Next time I go up there, I'll push Jeanie McIntosh off the summit to find out. (Your friend Maria...her surname wasn't Von Trapp, was it?)
