  1. The sun shone, the vws came!

    The weather is always a bit of a gamble in the Lakes but this weekend was a rare glimpse of the 'omg why didn't I pack shorts?' face :thinking: (with the exception of @yorkshirecampers Zoe)

    Now I can see it I reckon we must have been quite close last year?
     
  16. so glad the weather was kind to you all
     
  17. even though we couldn't see the top we must of been quite close as i remember skirting around over rocks which start on the final slogg to the top.
    in the end i could only manage about 10 steps before a rest due to lactic in the legs, blow me there's no pub at the top and had to settle for coffee and no taxi back down.............

    damn photobucket has turned the photos the wrong way.......

  18. Just a note to those of you who took dogs with you. We have been checking our two over the last couple of days and have just removed several sheep ticks off both of them - yuk!

  19. I carry a few tick twister hooks in my first aid kit
    They are well worth having if going up north especially the lakes and scotland
