Who am I? Do you need to ask? I'm Polar of the Midlands Branch. Hopefully mine is a familiar face by now, as I've appeared on the main blog quite a bit recently, and I've also had my biography done on Bears Unlimited biographies.
Where am I? I returned to the Midlands Bear Cave after Christmas, following my extended stay with the Norfolk Branch. This does suggest I might be in the Midlands, and indeed that is exactly where I am. More precisely, I am sitting on the Hensborough Hill trig point, which is on the edge of the large reservoir of Draycote Water, not far from Rugby where I live.
When and Why was I there? I don't like to let the grass grow under my paws, so it was a case of no sooner visited than posted. Yes, I was there today, January 30th 2011, even if it does look more like I was there on a summer's day than the middle of winter. The sunshine and blue skies are actually deceptive and I can confirm that it was very cold out. This is one of the reasons I was selected for the photo. It was because, being a heatable beanie bear, I was able to leap in the microwave and get very warm before venturing outdoors. This not only kept me warm, but also the party I was out and about with. It was Suffolk and Midlands Branch minders that I was accompanying: the former had come to visit the latter for the weekend and we all felt like some fresh air after lunch, so selected the 5 mile circuit of the reservoir for an afternoon walk.
I thought I'd go for a first on this blog and include a close up shot of the technical detail of the trig point. It was certainly a well looked after trig point and rather whiter than the 2 visited by the Norfolk Branch.
Love Polar xxx
P.S. who's going to be next?
