A walk up to Grasmoor was planned for today, maybe take in Crag Hill, Wandope, Whiteless Pike & Rannerdale Knotts & given the week Id had (Id caught the black death the usual two days before a trip out!) all in all a possible 5 Wainwrights to be had & with the promising weather forecast what could go wrong? Well one thing did midweek in that my Garmin GPS all of 43 days new the screen had decided to freeze on me on my last trip (High Seat) so as you do trots off back to my local Go outdoors. My GPS has froze can I have a new one please receipt in hand, err glazed look on the assistants face… its over 28 days old it will have to go back to Garmin you’ll have it back in just over a week good as new… 3 weeks later & I’m still waiting. Anyway that’s by the by, but it would of made a big difference today might I of had it, & if the weather man/women hadn’t got it so horribly wrong, Jo Blyth consider yourself stalker less !!
The day didn’t turn out all bad we did manage to summit Grasmoor in appalling conditions was just a pity if I’d of carried on in the near white out GPS In hand I might just of bagged 4/5 new Wainwrights today, whom I kidding we did the right thing in turning round on our tails …GPS or not |
