If anyone would like to go back to my Helvellyn walk and scroll to the bottom of the report I've written a short New Years message because at the time of writing I truly believed that I'd walk sometime in between Christmas and New Year, shows what I know.
I know it's December but unless you like walking in the rain there wasn't much time to get out over Christmas so much so I only got as far as local dog walks and instead I watched my back garden flood whilst chomping on Christmas left overs.
As it turned out the brightest day had been reserved for the last day before we all headed back into work and fair to the forecast, it stuck. I've kinda fell back into the armchair opting to walk the longer hillier climbs on Saturdays using Sunday as a recovery / rest day or in my case, write my walk report. The wasn't a cat in hells chance we was going to miss this weather window which sat wedged between two days of rain. I was so eager to get boot onto fell I could have climbed The Eiger but we opted for Skidda instead. |
