Saturday 7th July - Wild camp at Blind Tarn

Angela, Muzz and Kate, just below cloudbase, Blind Tarn below Dow Crag. We walked in from Walna Scar car-park through some miserable, clarty drizzle, but the clouds lifted as we gained height and we were able to pitch in relative dryness. The wine came out before I started to cook and by the time it was dark the three of us were quite the worse for wear!

Time to catch breath, Blind Tarn

Still wet by morning and we just dropped the tents and legged it back to the car, stripped wet kit off and headed back to Over Kellet where we re-packed all our gear into various vehicles before I sped down the M6 en route to Snowdonia...

Dear reader, a word of advice.... When in a hurry to get off the hill and away, remember to put your boots in the car rather than under it. This will save you driving off and leaving a £140 worth of brand new size 9's in the bloody carpark!
