Todays permitted exercise!

[Travs]

8.15 miles, 2,192 feet, 1 hour 56 minutes, Wansfell Ridge and a bit more. More people/cars than I have seen since the lockdown started, perhaps three times more, but this is still very quiet compared to what we normally see at this time of year. Two large P+D car parks that are normally full had 1 car between them.

MikeT it's pretty obvious from your posts that you have been pretty active on the fells over the lockdown...

I'd be genuinely interested on your thoughts of the various parties in Cumbria telling people to stay off the fells due to perceived pressures to Mountain Rescue etc?

I'm certainly not having a pop at you (far from it... if i lived in Ambleside i'd be up on the fells every day, possibly longer and further from Ambleside than you've been going, and i'll be on the Shropshire Hills tomorrow morning)

I just wonder whether it's a feeling that it doesn't apply to locals... i know several lakes locals who have personally told me they've regularly been up on the fells (and fair play to them).... yet they're then sharing articles on Social Media telling everybody else to keep away and keep off the fells...
