Kendal mint cake! Very sustaining for fell walking - Grandpa used to have a slab of it in his pocket, and he would slip us little shards of the the stuff whenever we slowed down! 🤣
YAY to Sycamore Gap - I'm so pleased! We're going to be working up there again later in the year - can't wait! Jim calls that tree 'the most photographed tree in England'! And no wonder - it's so striking.

Sycamore Gap is really striking. We couldn’t believe we had it to ourselves that day ... but it really was a pretty pissy day.
The Queen's funeral had been held earlier in the day when we went. For that reason - the fact that the date had been designated a bank holiday at such short notice - it was really busy!
