24th February 2018

Well the alarmists down at the BBC continue to warn us about the potential weather coming our way stating that "the beast from the east" will have us in its grip shortly. So off we went to Keswick for 3 nights. Yes its cold but absolutely wonderful to be out walking in the mountains. As they say there's no such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes. We got the ferry across Derwentwater and climbed up Catbells, the famous Wainwright walk. Then returned to the site following the west side of the lake, a total of 5 hours.
