Its pretty difficult to recollect a walk almost 5yrs old, but my first walk in the Lakeland was taken on Angletarn Pikes it was Ste’s idea he’d heard the Tarn was full of fish and wanted to take a look I was basically following the leader (how the tables have turned!) after all this would only be my second visit actually walking on the fells .
So there I was, one old pair of jeans, my ever so trust worthy Timberland boots, Nike velcro shoulder bag, oh and a lunch big enough to feed an army, not to mention enough caffeine to last a thousand hangovers. Driving along Kirkstone Pass looking up toward the Angletarn Pikes and in my head I’m thinking you know what if I fall? how big do these mountains look? all with a little gulp, I cant climb that - all together with the buzz that is still alive today.
Back then my wife would of flipped knowing I'd took our camera “outside” on the fells so what I used to do was use my mobile camera, all 2 mega pixels of it so even though the pictures are not up to much and the views are obscured these are the pictures I'd be most upset if I was to anything should happen to them, |
