Route Map
It was warm today and really Spring-like,
so much so that I only wore a t-shirt (and trousers of course!) for a
quick jaunt up to Latterbarrow where the views were as good as ever from
this lowly fell which seems to be surrounded by the higher ones. As we
head out of winter, I am on a mission now to get into lightweight gear
as I am fed up with carting round all my existing heavy stuff. First on
the list today was a new rucksack, so it is out with the old 30 litre
North Face one and in with an OMM 20 litre Adventure Light. That just
means I have to get more compact gear to fit in it now...
