Appleby – in – Westmoreland, Lake district
Hard hat and rigging applied
i found myself scaling down the side
of a very rocky hillside
My own personal Everest
quite a way from the top of the hill
down to the bottom
I felt reasonably safe
secure in the ropes and clips
i was attached to
Half way – i felt able
to take a shortish reststop
viewing left and right
Feet feeling for stops
to land on before taking
another descent
Terrafirma ? Achievement
as i looked where i had been
and all by myself
