Today should have been my second day of mountain rescue training. However, the fully fledged team members (i.e. not me!) had been on a call-out the previous night until past 5AM, so the training session was cancelled. When I got home Laetitia was finishing a few hours of work. This meant that a brief spell of dry weather had vanished, only to be replaced by heavy rain by the time we were ready to get out…
Our options for a half day in the rain were limited, we chose another foray in to the fells looking for a lakeland letterbox. Today’s objective was supposedly hidden on one of Lingmoor Tarn’s small islands.
As we approached Lingmoor Tarn we realised that there would be no way to get to the islands without getting wet – they were well beyond ‘leaping’ distance… I said to Laetitia, “It looks like you’re gonna have to swim for it.” Knowing full well there was no way I was going to get in the water she replied, “Hmm, it does doesn’t it!”

Maybe you just got the wrong bit of water Pete:?: 😯
Tish you are so brave – to go in the water (was it cold?) and then to let Pete put you on the www in minimal clothing 😉 😉
I know! 😯 😯 😯
Feel quite uncomfortable about it. Thought it might shock me into action, but I’ve just had nibbles and a drink, so it hasn’t worked! Damn!
P.S. the water wasn’t cold.
