Original plan had been to recce the Langdale Horseshoe route but the forecast and reality of the wet and windy weather materialising dictated a change. So, with KA, headed to Elterwater (they are now charging 20 pennies to spend a penny.....or if you follow someone else in there is no charge !) and we run up and over Lingmoor. However, we get distracted on the way by Himalayan Bolson weed, a highly invasive annual weed......don't ask !! Then down to Blea Tarn and the route of the UTLD 50 & 100 (which was only last weekend) as far as Tilberthwaite.
Then head down the road to pick up the Cumbria Way, to Tarn Hows and on down to Skelwith. From there an easy run back to Elterwater but yet more Bolson !!
Couldn't resist Chester's for a late lunch on the way home ! And yes it was wet, perhaps not as bad as the Met Office's severe weather warnings might have suggested but the Inov-8 Stormshell 150 seem to cope well.
