St Bees to Ennerdale

Arrival at St Bees
This is it! First day of many walks, lots of aching muscles to come I am sure.
Set off at 8.30am, weather was lovely, very cold breeze but that helped keep me cool.
Dipped my toe, as per custom, into the sea, collected a pebble - to take to Robin Hoods Bay and set off on the first of many climbs. This was easy compared with what was to come!
Was good feeling to be actually walking after months of planning. The first part was ok, nothing too strenuus, was this to be easy? Then I saw the hills in the distance! There was only one way through them and it sure wasn't under or around them!
Shall I stop now? Never!!! Well, maybe after the climb up Dent Hill! Or rather should I say the descent down the other side! Talk about sheer, I would have somersaulted if I leant forward! (no comments from anyone!!) After that it was easy, another couple of miles led me into Ennerdale Bridge, where I stayed at the local pub. Had to have a well deserved beer of course! Made a few friends on the way too. Early night, ready for Day 2.
Sorry not pictures - network signal not strong enough to upload. Will add when I can. The lakes isn't the best place to have a mobile phone or internet access!
