Today we climbed the highest mountain in England with our very knowledgable guide Arnold. My children, 18 & 16, myself and my two year old hip did something I never thought was possible. Arnold arrived in plenty of time, we met our fellow climbers for the day and began our accent. The scenery was second to none, along with Arnold's knowledge of the area and the whole route. After a short stop for lunch and to add a layer we managed to clamber to the summit. By the time we had climbed to the very highest point in England the rain and clouds and decided to join us too! We descended over the top of the mountain, via a boulder field, in which Arnold was again extreamely good at knowing the best way to cross. Due to me being exhausted and the slowest at walking on the decent we took 8 1/2 hours to complete the walk. Arnold was not at all worried about this and at no point did he or the other walkers make me feel under pressure. This is the most amazing place on earth to walk and see and with Arnold at our side (all three of us) and The Lake District Walker made it possible for us to see this challenge through to a brilliant end. Many thanks
