Angels

Castle Park, Penrith

"See this path here?" she said. "Go down this path, past the pavilion and a statue of an angel or summat."

Navigation by angels. A first for me.

Walks

(Nearly) Blencathra

You're gonna find this hard to take in, so I'll say it straight: I went for a walk today, but didn't clock off any of the coastline.

I'm heading south again, to arrive at the other end of the Lake District tomorrow morning for three days' walking with Jon and Matt. And since even here my coastwalking has been mainly on the flat, I thought it best to have a warm-up day in the hills.

Distance: 3.95 miles
Ascent: 815 metres
