Celebrating 9/10/11

9/10/11 found me in Grasmere with Chris and Rachel, celebrating their first anniversary. The weather was typically 'Lake District' even though the rest of the country was sweltering in an Indian Summer. The mist came down on our first walk up Silver Howe, but lifted - mercifully - to reveal our position above Easedale. High spot (literally) of the week was Fairfield where I was glad of Tim's bivvy bag at the summit to provide some protection from the blustering winds. We finished the week with an easy walk around Grasmere itself and a coffee in the Faery Cafe. We did the maths on our return and calculated 40 miles for the walker. At this rate I think the walker and cyclist could actually meet in the Lake District - what fun!
