fantastic - SO looking forward to this now

why has nobody ever mentioned the descent from Dalehead to the tarn? - my single favourite sort of underfoot - what I call a "Tetris" path - one of those roughly made steppy jobbies where you can just fall down, so long as you keep looking 1 or 2 steps ahead
no doubt some purist will come on droning on about a secret grassy line, but I LIKE these paths
Well, I'm certainly no purist, but I've never come across a path down to the tarn. I've always just taken a direct line - mostly grassy, pretty steep, but a bit rough.

Can't see me being fit for this one, unfortunately. Probably having a cortisone jab in the ankle on Monday, which doesn't give me much recovery time. Next year...
