Catbells

Me and Gary took a day off work to go to Catbells. it was actually 20th june not July as the camera says. We came here last September and got the boat accross the lake from Keswick and did our walk. we did the same here, and I realised just how unfit i am! :(

It is though a TOUGH walk. though its only 1500 feet high you climb it in a short space of time so its very steep. I was totally breathless with my heart racing and sweat pouring off me! A guy who went past me didnt think i would make it to the top but i proved him wrong! You have to use your hands and feet alot to 'scramble' over some bits as in the picture here.

We also on the way down took a 'shortcut' to save time and only ended up cutting thru dense vegetation with streams that you couldnt see until you stepped or fell into them!

I got completely wet and ended up with a cold for a week afterwards but its still maybe the most beautiful place i have been :)
