Guide Book Alert...

Regarding tomorrow's route Patterdale to Shap, author Stedman has the following to say:

"curse the very name of Wainwright"
"...no accommodation directly on the route nor, indeed, any shops, tearooms or pubs, you have little choice but to grit your teeth and knuckle down..."
"You won't find many more wild places like this in the days to come..."
"...panting like a hippo on a treadmill high above the shore"
"...by the time you get there, you'll probably be somewhat of a ruin yourself"

Bastard!

Motto for tomorrow: "Mind over matter--Stop that hyperventilating"

 (As an aside, I encourage all readers (sorry reader) to listen to my daughter's favorite This American Life episode (www.thisamericanlife.org): Episode 476 Act Two "Just Keep Breathing" Far more entertaining than anything I have to say. Regards.
