Just how many punctures can you get on a mountain biking trip around Kentmere?
Our trip to Greatend Crag in Borrowdale to tick a few routes after work and to kick off the weekend early wasn't a good one!
Work gets in the way far too much! We should get out climbing after work everyday...
You would have thought we'd be knackered after a week in Spain learning to skydive, but no, on the Sunday after our return, glorious Lakeland weather greeted us.
After the past week of glorious hot sunny weather, today started overcast and with a forecast for thunder storms! Perhaps not the best day to head all the way over to Pillar.
Super Hot weather, and the lethargy set it, so we had a 'holiday day' at Kettle Crag. More like a holiday than regular Lakeland cragging because the weather was more like Spain than England.
With the amazing sunny weather continuing we took full advantage, hitched a ride with Max, Blue and his son Lewis, and headed up Eskdale to the superb Esk Buttress.
Thought I'd take a look at our local patch this afternoon and wander round the Kentmere Horseshoe. I decided to walk up the valley towards the reservoir this time and then catch the path up towards the Nan Bield Pass.
Great fun (and exercise) rushing around the forest getting dirty!
Ian decided to go for the sympathy vote by crashing over his handle bars.
