Scafell Pike

The main blip Is Grains Gill on the way down after a superb day. 

The real point of the day was taking my good friend C (in extras, she's super shy) to England's summit. Despite working for Mountain Training for over a decade she'd never been up a mountain till three months ago. She had a tough time recently, but a few months ago started a real fitness campaign, both physically and mentally. She's lost three stone so far and smiles a lot lot more, wonderful to see.
Yesterday she'd been invited to climb Ben Nevis as part of a team supporting Mind. Like a star she then set herself the personal challenge of climbing Scafell Pike today and Snowdon (her home town mountain) tomorrow. Obviously there was no way I was letting anybody else take her out today! We had a blast, she dug deep, her success was hard won and totally her own. Very very pleased for her.

In extra 2... This was also Missy's biggest day out to date. There was some early sheep based naughtiness (she starts some advanced training in a few weeks) but she did really really well for a little girl, and she loved her new coat.
And no, I can't explain what's she doing either, I think it's some sort of Irish dance...
