| Looking down Great Tongue |
Another great day, sun shining and hardly a cloud in the
sky.
Walk up the main road the off into Tongue Gill, where we
take Little Tongue Gill to get us up Grisedale Hause, the big climb of the day.
As we climb two Lancaster bombers fly up the valley over
Grasmere!! I am told later that the one remaining Lancaster in UK and one from
Canada are appearing at some show up north.
We make slow progress, as it’s quite steep, yet make it by
10.30AM.
It’s then downhill most of the day, past Grisedale Tarn,
which on my previous trip was misted over, is in full view.

Downhill along Grisedale Gill, past the Outward Bound
hut, past fine drystone walls and finally into the village of Patterdale and
our accommodation, the White Lion Inn.
Another short day, we are in at 12.30PM and have our
lunch with a beer. That’s holidays!
Our room is tiny, the shower doesn’t drain, the menu
looks crap BUT the beer is good and the local shop sells great ice-cream.
Ya gotta take the good with the bad!!
