A cracking day that never felt like it was going to rain, with some wind later in the afternoon, but still mild for the time of year. A great pitch beside Grovebeck Gill with the stream right beside us. Felt tough towards the end but fitness isnt great at the moment and the first day with a full pack is often a trial :)
