This trip was easy in comparison to our trip with you a few years ago. I'm still aching from that one. ha.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-73920381748944129072021-06-16T12:39:58.773+01:002021-06-16T12:39:58.773+01:00Excellent.

Harter was the summit along with Swirl How that Sheila and I marshalled for quite some time during the Duddon Valley Fell race. It is a great top.<br />re the pole breakage - I can definitely say that if you are doing a long trip don't take carbon fibre poles, they are not fit for purpose, too easily damaged and almost impossible to repair on the go. Use aluminium.
