two new walking companions all the way from Washington DC!
 |
| Michael with his friend Joe; last seen together 40 years ago in Liberia, West Africa! |
 |
| Joe and his wife Denise at the start of the walk up Cat Bells |
 |
| Arriving at the summit with hardly a pause 451m (1480ft) |
 |
| The summit view finder |
 |
| The path of descent with Derwentwater (right) Skiddaw on the horizon and Bassenthwaite lake (top left) |
 |
| Cat Bells is a very popular climb from Keswick |
 |
| The southern end of Derwentwater with the Helvellyn range on the horizon |
 |
| Denise and Joe with relief on their faces after a successful negotiation of an awkward scramble |
 |
| Looking back to the summit from Skelgill Bank |
 |
| The descent continues.... |
 |
| ...with the ground levelling out |
 |
| Derwentwater again with Blencathra (right) & Skiddaw (left) on the horizon |
 |
| Back in Keswick at the lakeside ferry landings Thanks Joe and Denise for a really enjoyable day in your great company. It might be a bit tricky to leave it another 40years!!! Safe journey home |
