Great weekend at the Bridge to celebrate with Joss completers new and old. FSS and I made the most of the clear weather to travel to Buttermere on Saturday to visit a few Wainright summits. Clear and dry but mighty cold on the tops. Most of the piccies below were taken by FSS as I left my camera in the car Doh!
Looking across Buttermere to Fleetwith Pike from the path climbing Red up to Red Pike
and to the north with Crummock water in the distance and the Solway Firth beyond. Having visited the summits of Red Pike, Starling Dodd, Great Bourne and Gavel Fell we returned to the car and made our way out to the coast road. On a whim visiting St Bees it was a delight to see how clear the views were.
Great photo by FSS of a Labrador and family on the beach at St Bees with the Isle of Man clearly outlined beyond.
This year’s crop of JNC completers with our mate Gordon in the centre at the back with grey shirt. A great evening spent in the company of good friends with a shared love of the mountains
A pleasant stroll up to Buckbarrow on Sunday morning completed the weekend

Gordon saved his final wainright – Buckbarrow to finish this weekend. Champers out of his newly presented tankard
and finally…
Won’t be able to make it on Thursday – nephew Harry’s 16th Birthday - Nando’s calls. Looking forward to the warmth of the Tramuntana Mountains next week.
