 I'm just back from an amazing week in the Lakes! Amazing in two ways - Firstly I didn't think I would be able to do any walks in an upward direction because I'd been fighting a virus since New Year and was still feeling lousy but once I got started I managed to do eleven new Wainwrights! Secondly the weather was truly stunning with day after day of cloudless blue skies.

 Why is it always hard to get to sleep when you have to be up early the next morning! I set my alarm for 6.15am and must have been awake on the hour, every hour, checking the time until I went into a deep sleep just as it was time to get up! I had heard the wind howling during the night and wondered if it was going to continue for our walk. I remembered Roger, Stephen and Helmut once crawling across Windy Gap to avoid getting blown over and I wasn't too keen on the idea myself! |

 On Monday 20th August, 18 OFC members met at Clapham in Yorkshire for a walk up Ingleborough and for some brave souls to drop down 350ft into Gaping Gill Pothole, Britain's second largest cave chamber. The forecast earlier in the week was for rain on Monday but Liz had managed to hold it off and we had sunshine and blue sky for part of the walk at least.

 I'm just back from a wonderful 6 days at Coniston with lots of walking in the Southern Fells. We drove up last Saturday in glorious weather but with an appalling forecast in front of us for the rest of the bank holiday weekend.
