Rush of blood

Woke today and had a rush of blood to the head, THE LAKES, I thought as I woke up. This hadn't been planned, the urge just came to me as I opened my eyes. A few hours later I was there and a few hours after that I was on top of this Hill. The conditions were pretty crap for photography so I spent most of the day flogging up hills and realising just how unfit I have become. It was a bit concerning how much of a challenge these small foot hills have suddenly become to me. But all said and done I made it up there and the view was grand, albeit a little grey.

The challenge has been bothersome for me lately too. When I lived in the foothills of the mountains, hikes were weekly. Now they require more effort. I feel I have given to the ease of flatlander life.
