Lake District National Park, 23nd February, 2007

The next day the rains had abated somewhat and we were able to make a second attempt – these shots taken about half way up the 2,000ft ascent. My beard is an indication of how long we have been away this time. I haven’t shaved since.

Another big gap in the photographic record, I’m
afraid. Here we are already well into our final trip to the North and Scotland.

Today was our first attempt to climb up to the Neolithic axe factoriy on the top of
Langdale Pike in Cumbria.

As you can see, it is very wet and in fact we had to turn back as one of the becks had become an impassable torrent.
