The hole in the wall

Ah - back in the hills - Sport England bid submitted - time to feed the soul.

Three days with a lovely private client - but three days out in the Lake District in January - well what are the chances of it being, well, even bearable. Following the weather for the last week or so I've come up with a dozen and two different plans - but as the forecast has slowly solidified so has my decision making - so today we headed out - a chance for A. to get used to being out in the mountains in winter for the first time - the gentle approach from Grisedale up onto the Helvellyn massif - A. astounded by the views to St Sunday & Fairfield - me grinning to myself with the withheld knowledge of just how great the views from the hole in the wall would be.

Another "wow" moment.
