i was meant to be working today after which my plan was to head over to Black Combe and, if the forecast allowed maybe turn it into a sunset walk. That was until a colleague of mine walked into my office asking would I mind he swap my Saturday...you don't have to ask me twice.
Both Tim and Rod had contacted me during the week which of course I had to tell them I was working so I emailed them back saying I was now free and did they fancy heading up Helvellyn from Swirls, a walk believe or not I'd been meaning to do since before Christmas last year but due to either working or the weather I was unable too, Tim and Rod both jumped at the chance.
Speaking as we walked the forestry track back to Swirls we all agreed that todays route might not match an ascent from Grisedale or Glenrididng but it certainly comes very close, |
