September 14, 2024,Arthur's Pike – Kidsty Pike loop from Patterdale

Managed 4 of the peaks...but the wind (around 50-60mph) in the tops made it tough..plus an injury in the party that can't be helped. Tough start..no doubt..but it eases up somewhat along the tops.

**watch out for the hidden bogs!!**

I went past my waist and it was a bit nerve wracking!
