27th / 28th July - Wild camping and Wainwrights

More rain, but still we wandered upwards... with So, Kate, Angela and Muzz, we left the van at Bridgend and followed the path up below Angletarn Pikes to Angletarn where we pitched 3 Vaudes; one for each year, 05 to 07! The rain that had been falling since early afternoon carried on well into the wee hours resulting in the evenings conversation becoming more of a shouting match between tents and against the sound of the rain.

Before breakfast I made a quick dash over The Nab and Rest Dodd; back to eat and strike camp before we headed up toward the High Street Ridge. Kate and So had had enough by the time we were under Satura Crag and decided to bale out, arranging to collect the van and meet later at pub by Brotherswater. Angela, Muzz and I carried on, over High Street, Thornthwaite Crag and Gray Crag before dropping down to Hartsop and along the road to the pub.
