Day 5 - Patterdale to Shap - done!!

Throughout the night we were aware of rain with intermittent heavy showers (spot the similarity?). So leaving for what is said to be the toughest leg was a question of timing! (Tent packed away sopping wet!). More steep ascents out of the valley and eventually to Kidsty Pike (see photo 1) very blustery and cold, but the rain had stopped.

Today heralds the end of the Lakes and looking forward to the Pennines and beyond. (photo 2)

Onwards ever backwards never!
