This should have been a fairy straightforward and not particularly hard 8 mile ramble. Fortunately I wasn't leading but did have to intervene a few times as things got silly. My first ramble that I was late for the coach (30mins) ... fortunately it waits although the 40 others on the coach are not best pleased with our leader (and I get a cheer for my bit in 'saving the day'). |Main problem it rained all day and had been raining a lot so paths became streams, streams ragging torrents and not fordable. Eventually we had get wet and walked about 20m hanging onto a wall at a bend in the stream ... the water here wasn't moving although a foot deep. [Walking in water in the fells (or anywhere) needs a risk assessment - don't think a couple of inches of moving water is safe!!). Nearly everyone fell (not me) and one lady strained her ankle ... coming of the fells in the dark is stupid and everyone told the leader so!!!
Managed to salvage a few photos ..
1. Stream State from Helm Crag
The broad one is Sourmilk Gill (coming from Easedale Tarn)
f/4.5 1/60 ISO-100
2. Foreboding Sky
f/2.8 1/320 ISO-100
3. Easdale Tarn
f/2.8 1/320 ISO-100
4. The Route
Okay, no prizes for them. Just a record of some of the day taken with my G10 (showing it doesn't like bad light).
Feel free to report narrative or technical errors.
Thanks for stopping by.
