Coniston Old Man

Yesterday we did two routes on Raven Crag in Langdale, but today we woke to a rather wet day so no climbing, but S wanted a run and I wanted a walk and so I set off up the Old Man. 

Well... my legs were still very tired from yesterday and I didn't sleep particularly well last night, and so after setting off at a reasonable pace I soon had to slow right down... until I was taking about a dozen steps before having to stop for a minute.  Yes, that bad! 

But I was determined to reach the top - in the rain, wind and cloud - and I did, and then sat down to eat my lunch in the shelter of the wall before setting off down again.  My waterproof over-trousers have been christened!
