Castlerigg

Ancient Castlerigg,
Cloud topped hills keeping their watch,
seeking energy.

Main focus of the day was keeping awake.  Ben was up at 3am, despite the 9 miles yesterday and previous 4:20am start.  We were all feeling it a bit.  Decided to skip the swim we’d planned and finally travel to Castlerigg which has been on my list for a long time. It was grotty weather but still quite busy.  It is an imposing site with the hills surrounding on all sides, I felt a lovely energy which was amusing since I have literally no energy today. Ben has been tetchy but manageable and we popped for an ice cream this afternoon which was tasty although they didn’t have Ben’s preferred mint chocolate chip, which caused a bit of agitation but the staff were very patient and he eventually found an alternative that he fancied so all was well.  I predict an early night.
