JawD 99 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Jeans and a tshirt Tut tut. Love Helvellyn, better from the East side though. I usually climb up from the pub at the bottom, through the houses, trees and then its pretty much a straight climb following the wall. Bit of a lung buster like. Been for a dip in Red Tarn a few times as well under striding edge. Was a bit put off a few years back though when we swam in and bumped into a dead sheep...

Rob W 0 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Aye, gear freaks are hilarious. Once watched a lad turn out in full Alpine body harness, lid, double ropes etc for a 35 ft beginner route in Northumberland. In the time it took him to put his kit on, me and my mate were up and down our route. We watched the bloke tackle the Belford Eiger from a distance. He fell off. The ones that get me are those who march around Keswick in full kit- boots, gaiters, top of the range jackets, walking poles etc. All of it shiny and new. It'll be 10 o'clock , they clearly have no plans to go into the hills. A hoot. same with a lot of "sports" these days - if you don't spend £ 999.99 on the gear you are a mock & a scorn.

luckyluke 2 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Don't take her to the Pencil Museum in Keswick. She'll leave you. Just got back from a brilliant few days in the Lakes. Took my (different) girlfriend to the pencil museum, she loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I might have a ride over to the lakes tomorrow if the weathers nice They'd not had rain for 7 weeks apparently - until today, absolutely hammered it down. It stopped when we were leaving but those clouds didn't look like they were leaving anytime soon. Hope it's nice for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
