This should be the easiest day of the Lakeland section. In mileage it is possibly the shortest with only 1650 feet of ascent. Again planned to let our bodies try and come to terms with what we're asking of them before some tough days ahead.
We missed out Helm Crag yesterday and will probably not climb Hellvelyn today. Though a guide we met yesterday suggested we take in St. Sunday Crag for better views. The walking committee decided that it would best to concentrate on completing the Coast to Coast. Other days can be spent walking the fells. Not fully sure about this myself but do understand the reasoning.....
Nicky did concede last night that she struggled yesterday with her shoulders and sun burn. So to try and help recovery, Chris and I will split her ruck sack between ours allowing her to have today carrying no weight.
One other thing I didn't mention is in last night's entry. We are back at Sue and David's mobile home. Sue picked us up in Grasmere yesterday. She will be driving us back there this morning to start todays expedition, then collect our weary selves in Patterdale this afternoon.
The weather forecast is good, clear skies from midday but I've put my shorts on so it's bound to rain.
