I've finaly got round to buying myself a new camera, since my Canon film camera died a couple of years ago. So I can now take better photo's than just using my phone. Kier rang, "as the sun was shining shall we go for a cruise on Eendricht" ?
We went for a short while down towards Wigan, passing Ellerbeck
New camera, lots of photo's!
Then, New Years Eve, it was a great sunny morning, I set off up to the Old. I got to the campsite and had the tent set up in daylight, but I thought, this is too early to go to the pub, so I wandered around the campsite for a bit taking more photos.
- Get rid of this cold!
- Get my leg working again - it all seems fixed, I just need to get the strength back in it
- Walk 500 miles. I tried this 2 years ago up to the point where I fell off Tarn Crag!
- Learn to ride a pushbike.
- Cycle 500 km (bikes seem to work in km for some reason) Some or all of this may be on a static bike, as I don't own, or know how to ride a pushbike.
and the big one
- Climb all 127 mountains of the Lake District. I am classifying a mountain as over 2000 feet. I did this in the eighties and did all but Great Gable, but I thought I would just start again.
The following morning I had a breakfast, then had a wander down the valley until I felt it was OK to drive home. The sun was shining, blue skies and little wind - perfect climbing weather, but I was stuffed with this cold, so the mountains would have to wait.
I took the footpath past Rosset, as there is a wonderful array of farming "bits" to photograph
