7th Meet 5th April 2009




After our usual stop at Wilf's Cafe in Staveley, we set off from Hartsop in Ullswater. Made our way up the Saddleback Pass, onto the Fairfield Horseshoe, over Dove Crag (750m) and descended down Dovedale finishing at Brother's Water.
It was an eventful walk which included a bit of sledging in a very small patch of snow. We celebrated the Palm Sunday Mass with the extended readings and had our palms blessed and all got an egg in readiness for Easter Sunday (not a chocolate one though as it's still Lent). The weather was sunny but cold and Lizzie Wignall managed to brave most of the walk in her shorts and T shirt!
It was another successful Summit Day thoroughly enjoyed by all especially Diego who wandered off temporarily on a solo adventure. He returned to the flock after being found by Fr Phil and Joe.
