Lung Busting....

Had a good walk out today with the Saluki x's & my wee buddy Ruby the Pom x ...had a walk up & over Grisedale Pike,bloody hell was it steep and talk about getting your heart racing!! Apparently it's only the 40th highest peak in the Lake District so I've got plenty to achieve yet haha..it's 2595ft which may seem like nothing but it rises to that in less than two miles which means its tough going from start to finish..I struggled to be honest but we got there eventually and after a couple of tea breaks :-)

 

This was the path near the summit lol..

 

Looking off the peak of Grisedale Peak you can see Scotland in the distance across the Solway Firth

 

 

 

 

Wee Ruby on the summit with Keswick and Derwentwater down & in the distance
