Helloooo and good evening. Masterwatson reporting for duty!
The tree down that Craig is referring to is Lawson’s Park top bit. We did Breasty Haw up and over from Satterthwaite, up to and down the Fox DH, which was a tad soggy in places, round and up the Tarmac climb to moor top, on to Lawson’s Park (we were going to do Rocky River Bed, but it was closed for forestry workings) which had one tree down, it’s hoppable, but I chickened out (at the front of the train causing domino effect), then up and round to the Satterthwaite 3. I can’t say that it is dry, but it doesn’t impact on the flow of the trail unless a soggy shoe dampens your rhythm!
In the wet, Grizedale is one of the best places to go, the rocky bridleways are perfect for standing up to the wet conditions of late. Tomorrow us looking to be a good day though, if you’re in the lakes, I would push on to higher ground!
Like Craig said earlier, if the weather is right, we’re on for sticks pass on Wednesday. Aim high, and if the weather is shit, pick a good route around Grizedale to fall back on!
