Kilimanjaro Training Weekend II. Borrowdale

19 & 20 December 2015

This is how Derwent Water presented itself on my arrival in Borrowdale.


The Glaramara Hotel - a good place to stay, boasting excellent food and hospitable staff.


I kid you not, this photo was taken in 'broad' daylight.


Saturday morning and it's looking good to climb Scafell Pike. Unfortunately the wind was gusting up to 50mph and so we had to limit ourselves to the area around High Scawdell.




It rained all night on Saturday but Sunday morning was dry. However, the wind was still persistently strong so we climbed above the village of Braithwaite to Barrow and Stile End.
