Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Went up Skiddaw for my father's 60th but when we reached the top the weather had closed in and we couldn't see anything. On top of that the weather wrecked the camera and at one point my father said "We'd better head back of somebody could die!" Told him to man up and then had to hold the girlfriend between us so she didn't blow away :D Anyway, as you can see Skiddaw from my parent's back garden I went up the next summer and we waited for a nice day and then pegged it to get up there before the weather caught us out again. This time we made it to the top on a clear day and we went up the Wainwright route Mushroom. No fannying about on this one. The view across to Derwent: Across Bassenthwaite (the only lake ) The view back across to my parent's and Scotland: Me and the old man: Anyone want to buy a mountain? This one is for a sale. Here a few views from Blencathra (Saddleback): Derwent peeking out. Sit still dog!!! Then there was the walk over to Haystacks from Honister Slate Mine: Old man and his (mine) dog. Top pictures. So much nicer when the suns out. When i did that route, it hammered it down. I went into Dubs bothy for some snap. There were already some other guys in there eating and having a hot drink. All i'd got to drink was water. I was fu*king freezing and pi*s wet through. I vowed that day to always carry a stove so I could mash a hot drink. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

perthshire keeper 1,239 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Great view from about two thirds of the way up Scarfell Pike: Oh hang on a minute. That top pic is the little girl's route up Scafell :laugh: :tongue2: I was taking my 63yr old father up and the big fat hairy collie has no back hips so we didn't do well. It was a shit walk as it was so busy but I will never forget my dad's bonding moment with the fat collie. He hates dogs so I got three of 'em :D He loves the fat one now though due to an episode on the way up to the roof of England. do you like that footpath?? good isnt it? i had to carry the scaffholding and block and tackle up their to re build the mini digger we had air lifted up in 3 diffrent bits then re build it up their ....to make that path ahh happy days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
