Blencathra

Sharp edge on Blencathra is a rising crest of naked rock. The sight of it at close quarters is sufficient to make a beholder about to tackle it forget all other worries, even a raging toothache. The crest itself can only be traversed a cheval at some risk of damage to tender parts. There is one awkward place , calling for a shuffle off a sloping slab on to a knife edge : countless posteriors have imparted a high polish to this spot. A. Wainwright.

We had to go to Keswick today...then it was on to Nichol End Marina cafe for coffee and scones. ( This cafe gets equal First Place with Faeryland cafe in Grasmere! ) Then we walked along Derwentwater in the warm sunshine! Regular viewers of this blip will no doubt spot Chloe!
