Last Night
Queens Hotel was fine.... old and rambling but with a nice room and stunning views from my window. A tour of Keswicks many pubs, which were all packed, and a chipper dinner - eaten in the street like a teenager/tramp/student. Delete as applicable. Must have been tired, as I was in bed before the end of "Not Going Out".
Today's Walk
Its a beautiful day today. I know this, as I have an east facing room and the curtains don't quite fit. Pre breakfast cache, buy the times and then head for an FEB. The greatest three letters in the English alphabet.
I'm going to be controversial today. Walking the lowlands is better than the peaks.
After nearly meeting my doom in peat bogs, getting snowed on and waking up with aches in places I didn't know I had muscles, I have much preferred todays gentle ramble along the newlands valley. The peaks look just as good from down below.
Park up at a handy place for Cat Bells - but I'm not hill climbing today.
Stuff your hills, I am a Giant. |

Preyed to the god of caching |
Walking is not all misery |

Why I cache |
Up to Loch Lomond in 2.5 hours, but I didn't expect to be driving through the centre of Glasgow. The overhead signs are warning of heavy raid for tomorrow. I fear the worst for my walking. Park up at the Lomond Park Hotel, admiring the shared bathroom facilities. There's already been a fight in the car park.
