Up early and off to go for our long walk. We started at 10.15 on the long upward Hike. The whole walk took us until about 5.00 ish., and we went on the following wainwrights....Low Pike, High Pike, Dove Crag, Hart Crag, Fairfield, Great Rigg and Heron Pike.....It's only around the ten mile mark, but it was hard work at times. What spectacular views we got when we were up there, it was worth every drop of sweat and every bit of cramp that evening. I have now done 9 Wainwrights, and though I suspect I will never be close to completing them all, I think I have definitely got the bug. The sense of achievement, the beautiful scenery and perhaps most importantly, the excellent company made it a really precious day to me. We went off the the Shakespeare for a couple of pints and then on to the Pizza Express where I think I may have eaten my own body weight in Pizza that evening!!!
