Climbing upto Grand Shunner Fell |
|
Looking back at Hardraw |
The climb up to Grand Shunner Fell is the largest challenge today and, since it's stretched over 5 miles, isn't too bad. The weather however made up for this blowing wind and rain through out. I passed the usual gaggle of Duke of Edinburgh students and one was kind enough to pull by backpack cover back in position for me.

River Swale just after Thwaits |
At Thwaits they passed me as I ate a bacon bab at the B&B cafe. It worries me that I seem to be going to exactly the same places I visited last time and having exactly the same meals. Says bad things about my adventuring spirit.

Keld Falls |
A lovely clamber onto Keld before the climb up to Tan Hill, the highest pub in the country. They were showing the football so hparking my bum I failed to write any of my blog but spent my time instead defending Rooney against the petty judgements of the group of men on the table beside me.

Tan Hill |
The pub was having an off night, the bar tender rather rubbish forgetting three times things I'd asked for and drinking behind the bar between cigarette breaks. Not the place I'd loved on the last visit. It was however brimming with walkers to talk to and I met a load of interesting people.
