Tuesday 18th January - you never know what'll turn up...

A day PAT testing a holiday rental cottage in a little village (very little!) in the south Lakes. Not a bad way to spend a day, driving out through early mist with glimpses up towards Coniston and the like; the dogs in the back looking forward to a walk somewhere different...

BUT - the highlight of the day was the beck by the roadside, nothing more than a couple of metres wide for the most part but with sudden height loss of around 15 metres in a continuous series of twisting rocky steps.

We need another paddler happy to throw a line and pull me out, plenty of rain and the mill-owner to (preferably) be somewhere else at the time. Or none of the above and a gullible probe.

Volunteers know how to contact me...
