After the recent effort in messing and uploading photos, blogging and other things Rum, I am treating myself to my second backpack of the year this weekend – weather permitting. Plan is to drive up to Keswick Friday afternoon, then grab abus down to Grasmere. I will then walk over Easedale Tarn and the Langdale Pikes to camp somewhere along Stake Pass. Then, continue on Saturday morning past Angle / Styhead Tarns for my first ascent of the Gables. Once down, a quick saunter over Brandreth and Honister will give me my last saturday challenge – Dale Head for a wildcamp somewhere on the massif. Sunday will hopefully provide a gentle stroll down either down Borrowdale / Derwent valley or through Little Town – who can tell.
Anyhow, my eyes will be firmly on the weather reports – trip will not happen if the current thunderstorms prevail!!!
