Thomas Arthur Leonard

This was a surprise!
On the ascent of Catbells in the Lake District is a memorial to Thomas Arthur Leonard. This is my photo below.

Thomas Arthur Leonard
Memorial showing a little more of the surrounding landscape than many pictures.

Althoutgh there is a very well defined track up Catbells this is to the right and if you have your head down you could miss it. There is a bit of knee and hand work here!

There is some information on Thomas Arthur Leonard here.

This is another photo from above the memorial:
Right at the top of Catbells
Derwentwater is in the distance
We are past the memorial at this stage.

 I visited Haddington at the same time as North Berwick. I have ancestors on my father's side at both places. Here are the photos of the memorial and the inscription.
