I was back to the Dales today and the Yorkshire Tops tick list, after a couple of weeks walking with friends elsewhere. I was expecting a wet day and wasn't surprised by the weather, but it was warm and muggy so I sweat bullets in my waterproof jacket. My goal was a little known Dewey (and HuMP) called Grizedales - more the excuse for a good walk than the goal, but then that's peak bagging in a nutshell. I was testing a couple of pieces of kit today. The Inov-8 Roclite 390GTX boots were getting another day out after last weekend and I was also using Route Buddy Atlas for the iPhone - a mapping app that uses the GPS and compass in the iPhone.
