Brief update

I got to Borrowdale YHA at 6 pm and my legs don't know what day it is. 29 miles is a long way. I learned a number of other things:

  • don't distrust Wainwright - just because a route looks like a long way round something, it isn't.
  • don't bother with the slate mining museum, unless you really, really like slate and don't mind being ripped off for micro-cartons of juice
  • it does get baking hot in Cumbria

More when I get O2 service on my phone or wifi access, maybe tomorrow. If my legs work when I come to get in the morning. Only 17 miles for tomorrow's leg, but it is very hilly. On to Helvellyn.

    Hey Kit, well done you. Have the shorts gone yet? We are going to try to get up to see you en route this Friday.
    Keep on running!
    Chris & Helen
