The weather forecast for the weekend looked great on Tuesday. Every day since then it has deteriorated and opening the curtains this morning revealed the truth, it had - grey and damp. Not the best weather for the adventure Jon and I had planned...
Quiet fells, wind, rain, sun shine and a dog for company...
Having finally got back through the monsoon of the midlands, Chris and Sarah persuaded Jon, Anna and me to head up to High Crag, Buttermere.
Grabbing some Cornish good weather before the long dark winter... Well, that was the plan for our trip to Cornwall, staying at the CC's Bosigran hut, the Count House...
We came home from North Wales last night. The forecast wasn't great, so we decided that not so great weather at home was better than not so great weather in Wales. Very tired, we didn't get out of bed until close to 10am, and the clouds looked heavy, so we felt uninspired to climb. After a few essential household chores we decided to go for a bike ride up the Kentmere valley...
Sunday, and with a great weather forecast Ian, Anna, Andy and Sabiene headed for Scout Crag in Langdale...
We've lived in the Kentmere valley for years and have never walked up to the interestingly named Williamson's Monument...
This weekend, I have not only learnt the delights of Bar Pot and Grey Wife, but also, how committed and absolutely crazy my friend Colin is. Seriously, this man is nutty. Caving is one thing, cave diving is another thing...
The plan for the weekend involved three choices for the Saturday. We (Rach and Colin) ended up taking the second choice which was Bar Pot, one of the simpler entrances into the Gaping Gill system...
