Haha good point. My problem though with the great lakes was that I went off the race map and couldn't then use it to get back on track. On the plus side I explored a whole new area of ground and now know it all much better for next time. What with races like langdale, borrowdale and the great lakes plus BGR recces and attempts I'm now getting to properly know big swathes of the lake district. I like to think that I know 500 square miles of the Dales left, front and sideways and at long last I'm getting to know the lakes too. Its fantastic to know somewhere that welll such that you could relatively easily get by without a map and compass
