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.

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!

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.

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. Mon, 04 Jun 2007 06:00:00 +0100
