Forecast not great for today, we're due to get the tail end of hurricane Bertha from the States; but actually this never really materialises. It not a great day, a bit wet, a bit misty and a bit windy, but really not that bad.
I head over to Kirkstone with KA, in the Cali again, and we decide to start from there and run down the valley to Brotherswater and Hartsop, where leg 2 starts; a much more gentle way to start than Hartsop to Hayeswater. But we still have that to run, or walk, and slog it out into the mist to High Street.
It's actually quite a fast and short leg, we are soon picking up speed towards Thornthwaite and then the steep descent to Thresthwaite. Another short, rocky climb from here and I try to explain...justify.....excuse my and Rick's nav error from a few years ago; it falls upon deaf ears, I wish I hadn't bothered !
Then fast running, down Raven's Edge and the last steep descent to Kirkstone. A quick change, cuppa and the to the Hawkshead Brewery for a pint. A good afternoon out.
