HOLIDAY JOURNAL

Hiked up Illgill Head today. Nice dry weather apart from the wind. Fantastic views of Scafell and Wasdale  head.  Didn’t realise we were that close. May have hike there in future for a pint.

Crap rainy weather again. Went for a soggy hike. Nice walk but couldn’t see much. Getting fed up of the rain! Did get my Helvellyn photos. Some of them are okay. Ate pie in the Boot Inn which was excellent.

Interesting day. Did Helvellyn triathlon yesterday. Hardest race I’ve ever done.  Legs destroyed! Travelled to Borrowdale this morning but couldn’t get on site for flooding. So we came to Eskdale. Pissing down all day so no adventures to report.

Had an easy walk along the river today. Mel and Steve were too knackered from yesterday to go further. Just been to Woolpack for pizza. Home tomorrow.

Arrived for tomorrow’s race.  It’s pissing down, windy and freezing.  Standard. Could do with a beer but I’m being good. Site is okay and all open - Gillside Camping 

Long drive today to Bourges. Got here about 2pm. Had an explore and a few beers. Lovely little medieval town. France is full of them!  Also site is cheap and good.

Epic mountain trail run this morning. Reached over 1000m!! Spent afternoon in Saint Enime.  Gorgeous little medieval town down the Tarn gorge. Really pretty.
