Day 4: Breaking News ... Breaking News ...

Day 4: Grasmere to Glenridding (10 miles)


NEWSFLASH! NEWSFLASH! Is it a red squirrel? Is it a Golden Eagle? Is it a Black Fox? But surely, it can't be ... BLUE SKY, THE SUN!



A mirage ...


We trudged up the hill out of Grasmere in the usual rain and mist but suddenly we saw a break in the clouds, and the sun came out. Amazing!

It felt great to have the warm sun at our backs.


We reached Grisdale Tarn at 2000 feet and had a great view and a goof rest. We decided to head straight down to Glenridding and have some chill out time, leaving  St Sunday Crag and  Hellvelyn for another day.

As we walked down the long path to Glenridding the clouds slowly began to lift and the mountains came into view.


We reached Ulswater by about 5pm and had a paddle in the Lake before going for tea.

Mam's feet are much better thanks to her new "super" insoles (thank-you to the lady in Grasmere Cotswolds).

Its a really long day to Shap tomorrow so I'm off to bed.

see you soon,

Love, Caitlin
