Big Day Out - High Dam

Initially I was a little peeved there were two drop-out from today's walk, it takes a lot to put these together (198minibus miles today).
But.
The joy and happiness the remaining four brought to the day made it all worthwhile. We had a spontaneous swim (see extra) and some funny, deep and moving chats.
As ever hoped there was a moment as we wandered round the Tarn when it really felt I wasn't needed, I could drift away awhiles- happy chatter, a sense of achievement, plans being made.
