Loaded up on brekky and then went in search of an ATM. We were a little worried we would not have enough cash to afford dinners AND pay for B&B's when they didn't have a card option.
Oh also, Julia's wet feet & blisters were mostly resolved by getting some better insoles for her shoes & going down to 1 pair of socks instead of two (despite what the internet advised!).
Another good short day at 5.5 hours. Views not as great as the last two days but still a good walk. We took the route called St. Sundays Crag to Patterdale. Made some Mackerel sandwiches for lunch, crunched on wine gums, reached the top when the mist rolled in and swiftly started descending.
The descent of St. Sundays was shit. Views were OK but the steepness was unnecessary & caned the knees again. After calling the mountain a few vicious names, we made it to the bottom to the White Lion Inn where our american group were also staying!
Patterdale is pretty small, think I'll sink a few pints & hit bed early for the big day tomorrow!
