From Windermere Cruising

It's that time of year again! Every year we get as many of our mates as possible round on (or near to) bonfire night to get crazy with the biggest fireworks we can lay our hands on.
The weather turned out dry today - very different to the rain we thought had been forecast!
The CC Welsh (Founders) Dinner was held at a new venue this year.
The bridleways around Kentmere offer a massive number of alternate routes for mountain biking. No wonder it's so popular here!
We wanted to go somewhere new today. So we settled for a trip to the granite outcrops of Eskdale. First on the hit list was Bell Stand.
Dave has an incredibly diverse groups of mates; weirdo cavers, nutter motorcyclists, a few loony climbers, some computer geeks, and one or two semi-professional beer drinkers. Then realise that that makes Dave all of the above!
We hoped for more of the amazing weather today, but alas, just as we turned into the Duddon Valley it started to rain. But there was no way that we weren't going to climb after the long drive to get there!
Having recently advanced to leading rock climbs, I think Dave enjoyed our visit to Black Crag to tick the ultra classic Troutdale Pinnacle.
Laetitia, Mum, Wesley (Mum’s dog), and I enjoyed a cruise on Windermere in the brilliant late summer sunshine today. It would have been a great day for one last trip to Scafell or the like, but actually seeing the Lakes from a lake is well worthwhile too. Something we don’t do too often… We stopped …
