We were just on foot this time, although Mr Gruftie has a hankering to do High Street again with bikes (we did it once in our twenties pushing bikes south to north, camping up top). I'm not sure how well I'd cope now, although given enough time, hot drinks and cake I might be persuaded to give it a try!kendal gruftiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-80252931234402462682019-10-26T16:28:35.233+01:002019-10-26T16:28:35.233+01:00Sir Hugh.

Then I climbed there with university friends and of course Lynne and I have walked there summer and winter since we met in 1972. Last year we had to cancel our usual three week holiday near Keswick because I pulled a calf muscle and other things got in the way this summer. Hopefully we’ll be back next year. I love the Lakes District.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-20192895818124107952019-10-26T13:55:10.173+01:002019-10-26T13:55:10.173+01:00Same photos - different model.Same photos - different model.bowlandclimberhttp://bowlandclimber.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-92053332008597753142019-10-26T09:43:50.451+01:002019-10-26T09:43:50.451+01:00afoot - For a Scotsman you seem to have spent quit...afoot - For a Scotsman you seem to have spent quite a lot of time in The Lakes, well that is the impression I have gained anyway.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-10617065742608622932019-10-26T09:24:18.878+01:002019-10-26T09:24:18.878+01:00Well worth the early rise and scary drive Conrad. ...Well worth the early rise and scary drive Conrad.

Were you on bikes up there? Years ago I more or less carried my back from Brotherswater to High Street then had the fabulous downhill descent to the Cockpit stone circle then back over Boredale Hause where I carried the bike again - one of the most exhausting days of my life.<br /><br />-------------------------<br /><br />BC - I don't think photo duplication matters much, they are not exactly the same anyway.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-79915648402010248352019-10-25T14:37:33.028+01:002019-10-25T14:37:33.028+01:00Yes, we have duplicated our photos on this occasio...Yes, we have duplicated our photos on this occasion.

He had informed us well in advance that he wanted his ashes scattered in Kentmere, and he arranged for a strong northerly wind, so we had to carry him most of the way around with us (walking clockwise from Kentmere church) to be sure he got blown into the Kentmere Valley, and not over into Troutbeck! Started an interesting discussion amongst us, as to where we will choose when the time comes!Kendal gruftiesnoreply@blogger.com
