Yet another early good morning. 5.3. So close.
Been awake since 4.30, up at 5. Already had breakfast, still loving the Fiasp now I’ve got the hang of it. Early doors appointment again, dentist at 9am. Just annual check up. We used to go every six months but after not being able to go for three years because of Covid and then not being able to get an appointment, I realised that’s excessive, and expensive. I’ve got very good teeth and after being charged £374 last year for the two of us for a check up, visit to hygienists and a deposit towards this appointment, I’m skipping the hygienist, Mr Eggy still having his appointment, he drinks red wine and black tea! I’m tempted to just go every two years, if they’ve put the prices up again this year, that’s what I’m going to do. They’ve got us over a barrel as they know we won’t be able to get an NHS dentist anytime soon. Rant over! 😡
Had a brilliant hike yesterday, the rain stayed away and it was a nice temperature to walk in. We walked part of the Coast to Coast path, (St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay), we did Bowness Knott carpark to Black Sail YHA. We met two ladies who were doing it for their 70th birthdays, one is 70 next week and the other in August. Inspirational. I walked with them for a while whilst Mr Eggy dallied taking photos. We had lunch together in the Black Sail YHA, what a fabulous place that is, if we were 40 years younger we would be tempted to stay, but not sure I could share a room with strangers, in a bunk bed! We’ve missed our slot! 😉
Anyhoo, we walked 13.5 miles. Did our stretches before getting in the car so I’m fine today, Mr Eggy walking like an old man and oohing and ahhing every time he has to get off the sofa!
Have a grand day, wet and miserable here all day. Urghh!
Here’s a few photos of the Ennerdale area, and the famous Black Sail YHA. There’s no easy way up there, it’s six miles from the car park, but I don’t suppose anyone staying is bringing the kitchen sink like we do when we go on holiday!
Selfie before we became disheveled and sweaty!
Low hanging cloud over Pillar Rock.

Black Sail YHA.
More cloud over the assent to Honister. We didn’t do that, we crossed back over the river, over a ford where I got my feet very wet, through the nature reserve and back down to the carpark.
