On the 11th of June I was in Ambleside as I had taken part in the Lake District Challenge 10k around Loughrigg:
As we got closer to Wansfell Pike summit the wind was getting stronger and it felt like my rucksack was being pulled round to spin me off the hillside! The views were still amazing as we reached the first top:
The fun part now came in trying to find the Baystones summit! I was glad I wasn't on my own as 1) it was a boggy slog and 2) as a less well visited top it was hard to decide if we had made it...
In fact I had to rely on proof from SummitBag.com to show that we had made it:
On the way back down I had very tired legs (completing a tough 10 km run and then a steep ascent had worn them out!) so I was a lot more cautious on the slippery bits:
In the future, as much as possible, I am going to make sure I don't leave out any odd summits that mean repeating myself!
