Walking (mostly in the mountains).
To help blow (or more accurately, wash) the hangover from the night before at the FRCC Centenary Banquet away we decided to brave the rain and go for a bumble up Eskdale today.
Despite the weather forecast (Gales and squally showers), Anna, Ian, Andy and Arthur decided on a wet trog around Helvellyn, Nethermost Pike and Dollywagon Pike.
Why does it seem that more and more road works are springing up wherever I look. Coming down Red Pike yesterday we came across this set of repairs...
With threatening clouds over the Lakes Ian, Anna, Andy and Sabiene took the chance for another long walk along the Solway coast.
A lazy day saw us at our local beach. The 3 scoops of famous Twentyman's ice cream was well worth the 5 mile walk....
On the last day of our holiday we teamed up with our mates again and headed out to sample some of the adventures they had planned for the long weekend. Ticking off some of the French via ferrata near Chamonix.
We flew into a village called Narsarsuaq (population 190) and within 30 mins were in a vehicle (with only 2nd gear – they were awaiting a part) and off to the port (1 mile away!). We were dropped off down the coast at a sheep farm and walked to a village called Igaliku (pop. 60). …
Ian, Anna, Andy, Sabiene and Arthur braved the weather, 100's of other walkers and the vomit-inducing mementoes, plaques and even an urn to reach the top of Ben Nevis.
The BBC spends a lot of money (our license fees) on weather forecasting!
