We are hoping that this a good sign and our legs are getting used to what we are asking of them. But we are under no illusion as tomorrow is a tough day.
Back to todays trek. We set off from Grasmere at 10:45am. The climb up to Grisedale Hause was complete by 12:30pm.

At this point our legs felt as fresh as when we started and from here it was was down hill all the way to Patterdale. The weather was still perfect and St. Sunday Crag was beckoning with the prospect of fine views.

A committee meeting was held to decide which route to take down to Patterdale. Keep to the traditional Cost to Coast route down the valley or detour over St. Sunday Crag. It was swayed by the common sense view of Nicky, against the bravado of the boys. The argument she used was 'we have a tough day ahead if us tomorrow' she didn't what to do anything that might jeopardise us completing the walk. Hmmm.....we were not happy, and we didn't let her off lightly as we continued down the valley to Patterdale. At least she bought us a pint.
Damage report;
None from Nicky and Chris and the old man's blister has not matured....
