Yestreday we walked down Derwentwater where Swallows and Amazons was based and we spent most of the time looking for Wild Cat island. It was a very sunny day and I paddled in the River Derwent. We stayed in Honister youth hostel. Today the weather was the oppostite to yesterday - very windy, rainy, slightly foggy and very boggy. I fell over 8 times!!! we are now staying in Grasmere youth hostel and we think we wont go up helvellyn and striding edge tomorrow because it is too windy (60mph!). Instead we will go up to Grisedale Tarn and then down to patterdale to meet Mum. I hope we can go up Helvellyn later in the week.... read more
Yesterday we got the train to Penrith and said goodbye to Mum then we got the bus to Keswick and walked half way up Skiddaw to Skiddaw bunkhouse. When we got to the youth hostel there was another girl who was 9 called Elsa. We played lots of great games. I took a picture of her - see below Today we walked up Skiddaw and almost literally got blown away but we didn't get any views because it was so foggy. Then we came down and went to Keswick youth hostel and went to get supper from the street market and came back to cook it. I will write more on Saturday.... read more
