Thursday 30 May saw us driving to Gill Head Farm campsite Troutbeck near Penrith for 4 nights to take part on Saturday in the 13 mile hike from Patterdale along the edge of Ullswater and upland to Dalemain Mansion.
Blessed with sunshine on Friday, we did a short walk to Aira Force then on to Dockray for a picnic in a lovely area made by the locals for the Queens Platinum Jubilee. We did attempt to do a longer walk but "fortunately" we could not find the trail! I did not want to jigger myself up today! Drove to Glenridding for the ice-cream kid!

SATURDAY 1ST JUNE TREK 13 DAY
How lucky were we, sunshine and warm all day. We started our 13 trek at 9am and finished at 2.45pm. A beautiful hike along Ullswater, lots of ups and downs, lunch at Howtown then through manic Pooley Bridge and back to Dalemain. Just perfect!. They said 1250 people walked and ran today!
Out for a lovely meal at the end of the day!
DAELMAIN MANSION
Our last day, Roy asked if I fancied "just" going to Scales Tarn at the base of Blencathra. After an hour and half climbing up and same coming down, it didn't seem like a Just walk! A cloudier day, me slightly suffering from aches from yesterday, Roy never seems to ache anywhere, we did enjoy lunch at the tarn.
Our Alzheimer's Trek 13 yesterday has raised a great amount well over our aim, our heartfelt thanks go out to all you wonderful people who gave to this superb charity.
