Striding on the edge

With the weather being so beautiful this weekend we got a surprise visit from some friends who came up to camp at Limefitt. Liz and Gary are very keen fell walkers so we had to do something a bit special. We decided that Helvellyn might fit the bill. So Saturday afternoon saw us making our way along Striding Edge. It was only when we finally reached the summit we realise that none of us had remembered to bring a camera, so we can't show you the fantastic view.

Gary, expert camper that he is, managed to put up the tent on his own, whilst Liz was busy leafing through the guidebooks, trying to work out which of the Wainwright's she wanted to do on Sunday. Unfortunately when she woke up she found that something in the water that she had drunk the previous evening haven't agreed with her, so she had to restrict herself to an ascent of Lakeland Plastics. We sent her off this morning with instructions to find something that none of us had ever heard of before, which would fulfil a need that we never knew we had. She hasn't been seen since.
