Fells Climbed: Arnison Crag, Birks, St Sunday Crag, Fairfield (again) Hart Crag, Hartsop Above How:
>
After a lay off of a few months, the Trusty Sherpa Mrs W decided to re-enter the Sunday ritual of early starts, sugar laden snacks and knee destroying purgatory that is walk in the Lakes with me. " 10 miles should be OK" were words which came back to haunt her as I took her around the Deepdale Horseshoe. To be fair she gamely plugged up the first half with some gusto. I was trying out my "spiffy" new winter boots and finding them comfortable and really good for small holds on some of the bits I decided to scramble up, whilst Claire took the path.
.
The second half of the horseshoe saw the bounce go out of Mrs W's bungee somewhat. The 10 miles went and 4 more Wainwrights added to Claire's count and 4 more for my "3 times or more" count (6 times in Fairfield's case).

The first picture shows Sherpa Wardle on the top of Cofa Pike. The second is the sun almost breaking through the cloud on Arnison Crag.

I really like that second picture. Glad the new boots are worth the price tag.
Not bad for a shot with the I-phone
The boots are very comfy and took them out again today. I will have to hide them as I will wear them out before Scotland!!!
