YC has returned from 3 enjoyable days in the Lake District. He took the train to Ravenglass where he caught the Eskdale narrow gauge railway to Boot. The train was pulled by a steam engine (River Irt) and wound its way through beautiful scenery, passing several trains en-route. It was Thomas the Tank engine heaven.
From Boot, he walked to Wasdale where he stayed at the YHA. The next day he ticked off some new 2,000 footers including Seatallen and Yewbarrow North Top, before bivvying on the Glaramara ridge. He descended via Rosthwaite Fell before catching the open-topped Borrowdale bus to Keswick in glorious sunshine: all great fun.
