Other than update the website and take Holly and Brad for a walk I had no real plans for today but while driving home from Wasdale yesterday it dawned on me that I wouldn't mind returning to Lakeland for a sunset walk, trouble was I didn't know where to base it from.
Both Black Combe and Blencathra sprang to mind but I've done sunset walks from both summits, I wanted something new and that's when Cat Bells came to mind. The main issue I would encounter was parking, yeah I know it's a Tuesday evening but it's also the Summer holidays and parking anywhere near Cat Bells after 9am can be troublesome.
I'll just have to hope that all the adults and children are resigned to there hotel rooms, guest houses and campsites and if I cross my fingers and toes while saying ten hail marys I might get lucky and find a parking spot, worse case scenario I can always drive back to Scales and head up Blencathra, turns out I needn't have worried after all. |
