Grasmere

Moss Grove Eco Hotel, Grasmere

A third day of Fell walking, that should be Fell Climbing. Very severe ascents and descents on rocky, muddy mountain goat tracks. The severity of the climbs has been something of a trial.

Last nights heavy rain continued this morning, turning to impenetrable mists at the peaks. We gathered with a large group to stumble along until the path was found. Later, met a couple who had wandered in the mists for two hours before finding a way down.

The sun came out once we reached Grasmere, the biggest town so far on the walk. A real tourist hub, all facilities but priced to match.
