It was beautiful early on this morning
and Connie and I managed a walk up to Loughrigg Fell. It is ever popular
with families up there, especially at this time of year and today was no
exception - it was great to see so many people out and about.

Sunshine and shadow - looking back along the path to
the Langdale Pikes.
Connie with our printed map in hand as I was giving
her a navigation lesson today. Ahem...actually Connie we are on the
wrong path, we have to go back a bit to find it. It was hidden by the
tall bracken, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Anyway, lesson #1
is that you can't navigate properly until you have actually been lost.
Sunshine over on Bowfell and the Langdales now.

Connie confidently strides out across Loughrigg.
There were lots of families up here today - most were
okay, passing the time of day etc but there were also some right
miseries as well - you know the type, the ones that totally ignore you
when you speak. Still, I'm sure they were having a great time!

Something tells me Connie is fed up with waiting
around for me!
