Owing to a slight bit of confusion as to who was taking the food, we only had a packet of raisins and a nutrigrain each. Still - we were up and down within about 4 hours, still not especially hungry but thankful we took plenty of water and warm clothing. In the town it was warm, and at the top (even at such a low level) it was bloody cold.
The following day consisted of an attempt to walk from Ambleside to Windermere. Although it is a relatively short distance (of the order of 6 miles), it proved so unpleasant due to the car fumes, bad state of repair of the pavements, and obnoxious arrogance of pavement-cyclists that we turned back after 3 miles. Much of the lakeside on this route is on private land, and the roadway you pretty much have to follow deviates from the water.
That was the only disappointment though - and hopefully we'll go back sometime soon and climb something a little bigger.
