Saturday dawned a little dankly, but undeterred, we decided on a walk up towards Causey Pike. A lovely walk, but the rain got heavier and heavier. By the time we'd had a splendid lunch of locally-produced cheese, tomato and cob bread with lemon curd and Borrowdale teabread to finish (can you believe all that was cheaper than a garage sandwich?), we were sufficiently wet and cold to decamp to one of the Borrowdale slate quarries to check out some bolted climbs for our summer forays.
A fantastic little place, complete with frog-filled lake. The climbs looked well bolted, yet somewhat tricky. Even the 3s and 4s looked a trifle blank...
