So we took the van in its part-converted state on a hillwalking club trip to Patterdale in the Lakes. It was so hot and sunny, we decided to try ghyll scrambling – a great way to cool off, get some good scrambling done and have a lazy day. We also explored a very beautiful deserted valley – quite impressive for the Lakes on a nice weekend. We ended up on Fairfield and took a quick dip in Grisedale Tarn before returning home.

On the second day, we did a quick round of some hills we haven’t done before near Kirkstone Pass. We also managed a quick paddle along a stream.
