Bivvying in the Lake District

YIC has just returned from 3 enjoyable days walking and running in The Lake District. He bivvied out on High Seat and ticked off some new 2,000 ft hills including Ullscarf and Low Saddle. After a night at Grasmere (where he can report the Hawkshead Bitter in the Lamb Inn was tip top), he ran up Fairfield, Seat Sandal and Steel Fell under blue skies but a biting easterly wind.


The bivvy on High Seat. The Scafell range is in the background. It was a bit chilly - YC's water bottle was covered in ice in the morning.

On top of Harrison Stickle, Langdale Pikes - nice hat, sir!
