Up here today, Wetherlam in a circuit of the Tilberthwaite Fells. Great to be out in the crisp air with friends I used to do this sort of walk with regularly, fifteen-plus years ago. I've done little on this scale since. Lots of sharp ascents, some thumping through ice, detour downwards through falling clouds, scramble by torchlight on the last section home. My calves screamed, my knees ached. I shall be screaming on awakening tomorrow, I guess. But it was good. More of this in 2006, perhaps.
