Down to the Lakes

A selection of pics from Ben Nevis.......

Love on a Mountaintop!

  Gilly attention seeking

Having a laugh before the weather closed in

The top of Britain

Happy Birthdays to Us

Today we were a tad groggy after time spent in the Grog and Gruel. A hearty Scottish breakfast sent us on our way on the road south to Sassenach land. Aquaplaning all the way, it was a good six hour drive including a couple of espresso stops. The last section through the Lake District was breathtaking as is the little inn we have chosen to make our home for the next two nights. The heating in the room is good enough to dry my sodden gear in time for another soaking tomorrow.

We have decamped to the bar where the wifi is better (fnarr fnarr) to sample the Cumbrian hospitality and begin the carbo loading.

  1. You boys are hardcore...obviously a night cap at the grog...I'm sure your room in Hawkshead will smell lovely with all that sweaty stuff on the radiators...enjoy the fine ale of Hawkshead and hope you get less of a soaking on Scafell Pike.....
