Birks, Arnison Crag and Place Fell

Well this little mission was really to pick up a couple of Wainwrights I had missed on the St Sunday pain route because of my crappy knees. Well the knees behaved themselves and seeing as it only took about an hour and half to bag em I though i might as well grab Place Fell as well seeing as it was an awesome day and I had plenty of time.

High Tove and Armboth Fell

2 more soggy Wainwrights to add to the list.

It was a true bog stomp today. I made good use of my newly acquired navigation skills and felt pretty confident about being out on my own :D The only downside of today's outing was that it wasn't long enough, so I think I will be a little more adventurous next time.

The Wainwright count now stands at 91 as you can see from the map I am making good progress. I'm pretty confident of getting past halfway by the end of the year. If I can fit some megawalks in who knows what the count will be at the end of the year :D

Mam and Dad before and after !

Well Mam and Dad decided to join me on my little jaunt around Langdale Pikes. I don't think they realised it would be so long and so wet. Ah well I think they enjoyed it ........just :D

On the way home.......

On the way home from my Langdale adventure I quickly bagged Raven Crag near Thirlmere. Here's the pic ;)

Super mega weekend in Langdale part 2

Saturday was course day with Chris Boughay of Summit Journeys (http://www.summitjourneys.co.uk/index.htm)

Not many pics of the course but it was as beautiful day, however I knew rain was on the way,I was expecting it to land on Saturday afternoon but it arrived during the night instead.

So Sunday was pretty much the same a Saturday night wet and windy, I was surprised I got any photos at all. The Langdale Pikes however are an awesome sight in any weather.

Super mega weekend in Langdale part 1

So I decided to do a navigation course in the lakes and instead just making it a day trip I turned it into a long weekend. So Friday came and I pitched my tent in the NT campsite in Langdale and began my assault on any nearby Wainwrights.

I bagged Lingmoor Fell on Friday and chilled out in the sun pretty much the rest of the day, saving my energy for my course on Saturday.

Grasmere Wanderings

Weather wasn't the greatest for photos but at least I didn't get rained on. Just a quick 4 hour bimble to Helm Crag and around Grasmere. I'm off on a Navigation course and some camping next week so hopefully I will get good weather for more pics .
