  1. About a year ago (May '25), I was at the top of Helm Craig, looking down on Grasmere. We were staying at the Lancrigg Hotel for a few nights.

    I can't express how much I want to return there. I clearly underestimated how many days we should have stayed there. Can one be homesick for a place you don't live in?

    I'm not sure if it's a rational feeling, but I could certainly take a few months to hike as many fells as I could.

  2. During my recovery from Covid in 2020, I had this series of Alfred Wainwright hiking books of the Lakeland Fells to distract me. I started planning out different options for an ideal hike.

    Five years later, I was delighted to complete the loop, by making it to the top of Helm Craig. It's a beginner hike for the locals, but not as easy for me. But I made it.
