What a scorcher! A bit hot for the weekend’s activities but very welcome after the proper winter. Rucksack Club outing Saturday in Dales followed by a drive to Rosthwaite via Keswick for fish and chips – very welcome. A night in the awesome FRCC hut in the village, sorry to see that the shop is now all closed up! Sunday up and out for Lake Ridge and Wainright. Route out over High Spy, dropping to Newlands Church up over Hindscarth, Robinson, down to Buttermere, up over Scarth Gap, Haystacks, down to Honister and at that point the heat and the previous day’s exertions gave me the excuse to trot down the road back to Rosthwaite, whilst Ian carried on up over Dale Head back to the village.
A pretty full on weekend even missing out Dale Head gave me over 11,000ft ascent and 38.3 miles. Legs trashed – what fun!
Piccies will appear soon here.
