Thanks for everyone's patience. I had a laugh so now I just need to replace all my too bulky gear and gain some climbing legs.

Legs will come with time Paul. The Lakes is a fairly tough intro, especially if you live somewhere flatter.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Thanks for being so welcoming everyone at the festival. It was great to meet everyone.

You'll all be pleased to know the following week was essentially a waterfall, got very very wet, and the good weather left with everyone.

Kinda. Did a sort of take on it after Chew needed some shelter from the rain so we rigged the tarp up big enough for two of us under it. Shall be just me next time unless something goes really wrong though!
