Prepping For Next Biking Season

[nick crisp]

I really enjoyed some easy scrambles in the Lakeland fells. Nothing too tricky. There's a nice bit towards the top of Haystacks, above Buttermere - a load of old Japanese ladies and gents managed to negotiate it! And on the corridor route on Scafell, there's just one little bit where you're on a narrow, crumbly ledge and a bit of a scramble to it. With the big pack, had to face the wall and edge around - bit of a drop into the gully if you got it wrong, but saw all kinds doing the route. I was worried about such bits before I got to them cos of my gammy arm and shoulder - limits my options for hand holds a little, but I always managed when I encountered any thing like that, and enjoyed doing it.
