Gosh, you lot are making me feel very fit! I only wish I was. I've just heard the weather forecast for the next week, it looks like it's going to cold, wet, windy, possibly with snow on northern hills.

I wonder if I can squeeze my hot water bottle into my rucsac....perhaps if I dehydrate the water?

Sooz: have a lovely time in the Lakes, it surely is one of the most (if not THE most) beautiful areas in England, super for walking, drinking, eating, singing, drinking (I like to drink). I've just heard that the Farmer's Arms at Portinscale is closing for transformation into a restaurant. :-(
