Speaking too soon and just deserts.
Well, announcing a reminder of the Sunday with prospects of
good weather was bound to be risky and so it turned out to be – yet another
Sunday walk beset by poor weather. Four stoic members and a guest (including
that old guy again) set out from Ennerdale in sizeable precipitation. The originally planned itinerary was slightly
modified to assist your newsletter editor in collecting in some of the controls
of the Easter mystery trip, which is now closed. The route took us up, around the flanks of
Crag Fell on what was possibly the old daily access route to work for the
miners at the old mine workings around this area. Then out to the remains of a crashed
aeroplane in 50m visibility fog, driving rain and wind which numbed un-gloved
hands. Upon working round to the reward cache it was found, disappointingly for
all of the effort put in by the course organiser, that not a single reward had
been claimed, so the editor generously allowed the entire cache of 35 rewards to
be shared between just the five of us – yum, yum, amply providing compensation
for the poor weather. We were happy to
leave just a load of raspberries for everyone else.
