Well, hopefully that was the last of the Winter of Discontent. Also known as really, really, bad weather for months and months. So in search of a pleasant day in the mountains, we found ourselves doing a 6 mile loop above Grasmere, overlooking the Langdale valley. A clear, windless, bright day, where we were taken over undulating hills with views to both sides. We had a splendid lunch spent watching the animated twitchings of the Herdwicks' ears around us. A day to assuage our mountain thirst, and perhaps most importantly, a day that made us realise we could, in theory, climb outside very soon.
