Miles To Go Before I Sleep.JPG

Swirl How, The Lake District, England

Taken at the summit of Swirl How.
The original plan was to walk back along the main ridge of Wetherlam and gradually descend towards Coniston. Unfortunately, as my left-knee was playing merry hell by that stage I was keen to descent, rest the leg, and enjoy some painkillers of the liquid sort in the Keswick Lodge (recommend Thwaites Thoroughbred, if you're the drinking sort), which necessitated a change to the plan.
As it was, we descended along the Prison Band and made our way back via Levers Water. A short while after passing Levers Water some very energetic fell-runners raced by, which made me feel sorry for myself - not them - indeed!
