Feeling Young Again

I think the three of us all left our age behind this weekend, freed from the burden of responsibility to simply enjoy being the boys that we still are in spirit! My body held up pretty well. There were moments when I found the old fell flow and couldn't help but take off and delight in the joy of running quickly through rocky terrain.

We enjoyed a beautiful run along the ridge directly from the hostel at Elterwater right along to the foot of Pavey Ark above Stickle Tarn, from where we took a delightfully wild descent line to Easedale Tarn (where this shot of Dr.Mackem was taken, as also was his own blip) and around to Grasmere before completing what was a 10 mile circuit.

Appearances are deceptive here. Today saw a return to the grey, cool and windy weather that we've become familiar with this last few weeks, but it didn't matter. For the first time in a long while Saturday delivered a glorious day when it was really needed. Thanks for your wonderful company guys. It was a truly memorable weekend.
