...probably only because I have not yet mastered taking photos of myself ! So a day out with Charlie (The Outdoor Warehouse man), we have decided on the Greater Langdale Horseshoe, a route I have run several time before.
We set-off from the Britannia Inn, Elterwater at quite a pace and soon realise we need to temper this slightly.Our first summit, Lingmoor, comes and goes quickly and we are soon heading towards Pike O'Blisco and the Crinkles. The weather is better than forecast, a cool northerly wind but high cloud, ideal running conditions.
It is good to catch-up with Charlie, we chat about the Highlander Mountain Marathon, his business and, one of my favourite subjects, kit ! A stop on Bowfell for food and drink we then decide to cut down the BG trod to the top of Rossett Gyhll and on to Rossett Crag (where I was yesterday !).
BG trods again lead to the pass and then a short climb to Martcrag Moor then a long pull to Pike O'Stickle. Over to Harrison Stickle and then to Sergeant Man; from here long, very runable paths and trods eventually lead us to Silver Howe and then a short descent back to the cars at Elterwater.
A good day out, we guess about 20 miles, plenty of climbing and good company :-)
