Day 3 - The evil that is Lining Crag

Day three started well. The weather was tolerable (code for wet but not evily so) and the climb up to the evil twin summits of doom was really rather OK.

I should say that as last time I walked up it I had to stop every 200m and have a biscuit,this time it was 300m so some clear progress there. Not to say that the climb up lining pass was any less evil,there was frequently much swearing and general bad mouthing of Mr Wainwright en route, luckily the troop of nuns were out of earshot. If you like walking through rivers then this is for you.

It was boggy at the top,actually everywhere is boggy come to think of it but its quite a quick descent into Grassmere which features such luxurious delights as a co-op and a pub and the nicest looking b&b you ever did see. Tomorrow is the shortest on the route praise be.
