Well I missed out. Phil, John and Craig went away for the weekend to the Lakes and climbed The Old Man of Coniston. From all accounts, and the photos the conditions were great…. not. I was still jealous, I really wanted to be there! Can’t wait for our next adventure but we are all really busy at the moment.

On another note it looks like we might be attempting the Bullock Smithy, 56 miles in 24 hours. Love it!

For some reason, someone thought it’d be a good idea to meet at 7:30 this morning to go for a walk. We only walked about 8.5 miles, but it seemed much further! I don’t know why, but this morning seemed a killer. We really have got our work cut out.

We parked up near Wingather rocks, and proceeded along the ridge up to Shining Tor, which was a nice gentel slog for a few miles. Then we dropped down to Errwood resevoir and along the side for a while and then up into the forest. We stumbled accross some ruins of Errwood Hall which looks like it might have been quite impressive in its day. We then continued along the side of the ridge and then up over the top and down into the valley, up the other side to the far side of Wingather Rocks and then back down to the cars. Excellent Stuff.
