    Another good 'un Dave and you got the weather on this one as well, couldn't have wished for more up on Blencathra! What an absolute stunner! As always a nice piece of tarp-porn and sky-porn, it did look cool but I'm undecided about the choice of accommodation - I'm sure Llama Annie had the same tarp a while ago. At least it was dry in the morning. Superb sunrise with the mists in the valley floors.....but the most important question is: where do I get one of those pillows from? Decathlon? Is it the cheaper one or the luxurious £17.99 one? (I saw you left a comment on my last vid but I couldn't find it to reply to, so my apologies Dave but tfw)
