Route Map
The weather felt distinctly colder today
on this walk from the top of the Wrynose Pass to Cold Pike and Pike o'
Blisco. Today was the day John Patterson completed his round of the
Wainwrights, his 214th fell being the Pike o' Blisco, and I met up with
him and a group of friends en route to help him achieve a 40 year goal
and to celebrate with champagne (of course!).
