Hill Hike #1 Blencathra - 868m

I chose Blencathra as it's accessible should urgent assistant be needed when my knees collapse. It's also really annoying for Caroline to have to join me on a hill she's hiked far too often for her liking. I played the poorly card quite hard

It was a bit too wet to be risking a slip on Sharp Edge today so the tourist route around the tarn was taken. A quick visit to the top to see the new Trig point - or rather trig flat as it is these days.

Then a fair old ramble back to Scales via a new route to me behind the back of the pub. Knees performed well - edit thighs hurt like hell for 3 days afterwards.
