It was murky and grim at Bull Pot Farm.Cavedrone was out with a cold. Frog came for a walk - still on the road to recovery - Rachel - road to the teashop ( it was mothers day - who'd blame her). Me and Dave were the remaining contenders - and after some hesitation I have to say (cause it was really grim first thing on Sun) we were changed and off over the fell. As we disappeared down the hole, Frog disappeared in the mist up Easegill with Salty.There must have been a doo on at BPF the night before. There were loads of cars parked - some with persons asleep in them - like as not refreshed after a nights indulgence in one or two herbal teas.
This time we made our way up to Gour Hall. Dave had not been before and was impressed by the vastness of Cross Hall and the formations along the way and also in Gour Hall itself. It was basically a quick romp about and we both had a good time - what more can I say. It had been a few weeks since I had been out, so the trip out through he entrance series took a bit longer than usual. Met a party from Newcastle Uni on the way out - they were off to the Cigalare no less.
Back on the surface the mist had gone but it had turned a bit windy.We retreated to Inglesport Cafe for food and chat.
It had rained for quite a long time the previous night - and the Lune had been almost as high as I have ever seen it on the way up.It was just as high on the way back home. As I write this it has been raining again for hours - god knows what it is like now!
Until the next time - when will spring kick in ! :roll: :roll:
