Langdale - last Lakeland trip...

What an awesome trip this was, in typical LUHC style. Good bit of climbing on Middlefell Butress with mouse, JP and Jamie on Friday in the sun, followed by a trip to the NDG. Saturday a rather hazy and humid day with an ascent of Scafel Pike along , back over the usual Esk Pike and Bowfell, down the band - the classic Langdale walk, thanks Graeme, Andy, Mince, Jim, Heiko for a good stroll. What can be said of Saturday nights festivities in the ODG? Well surely only one phrase can describe it...TOP STUFF!!! Which was followed most rightly by our fellow entertainer by"Where the f**k are you from?". After tales of 'lal Skidda' n 'elvellyn donning white winter caps we retired to the bridge just up the road from the ODG where festivities continued for a few hours, and of course checking JP was still stargazing every few minutes!!!
Sunday, notsurprisingly not much happened but was still a good day of hanging around on the campsite - literally as we practiced prusiking in a tree. Bus down to Ambleside for fesh and apple pies followed by a refreshing cruise back to Bowness along Windermere.
Awesome weekend, one I'll remember for quite a while, hope everyone else who went enjoyed it. Look forward to more adventures like these again soon.





Ahh - a nice comfortable seat. Mouse belaying on Middlefell Butress, JP below.
