Loweswater - Mellbreak bagged

It was overcast, drizzling and there were not many people out - we only saw 6 on the whole walk - perfect. Loads of sheep, shale and heather and magnificent views a-plenty - happy days. It all started with a trip to the Kirkstile pub and a hot chocolate..and ended with a hot shower and glass of red wine/bone.. 

Blencathra Bagged

The sun was out early but we weren't out early enough. Hoping to bag Blencathra via Sharp Edge but were thwarted by the weather - just as we were about to traverse the edge we were rained out and blown back down to achieve the summit in the less challenging direction - which meant a bit more down and a whole lot more up but was sooooo worth it. Great climb and when we finally got to the top the weather cleared so we could see all the views far and wide. We will go again and conquer Sharp Edge but in weather more conducive to such a noble and worthy scramble. All I can say is hooray for 4 legs - we so outdo the 2 leggeds!

Visiting Cousin Rocky in the Midlands

A trip to the Midlands wouldn't be the same without a trip to Grace Dieu woods with Rocky. Beautiful weather and stunning scenery a-plenty - not to mention great smells and loads of new places to explore..Aunty Anna-Banana's garden looked stunning and the bee's are buzzzzy, a game of scrabble and Rach' giving curlers a go all added to the fun and good times had by all. Happy Days
