Got back from 'Toppers' about 4.30am and promptly passed out. What an amazingly fun night - almost 4 hours of solid dancing. Ann Savage was great: hard house has never been such fun. Must find a similar night back in Cambs when I return.
Woke up at almost 11am to the lovely sound of more rain. Not got anything outdoors planned today, just a bit of driving, but you never know.
It does kind of present the idea that I'll be taking my tent down in the rain though. I almost feel sorry for all the spiders/moths/ants/bugs/slugs/snails that are inhabiting the gap between inner and outer tents. Almost.
Managed to plan some routes for walking in Scotland over the next few days, and had them vetted by those in the know. Might even manage to bag myself a few Monroe's.
Had to take a detour to Carlisle hospital to the stitches taken out of my lip. Got stuck watching the rugby for over 2hrs waiting to see the doctor, and then had them removed in under 30secs. And thanks to my Jedi healing powers (I went into a healing trance while stuck in traffic for an hour) there's gonna be virtually no dueling scar.
Finally made it to Stirling train station in time to meet my host for this week an find a nice Italian restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately there was an Outdoor shop open late that had a closing down sale, with rather cheap technical T-shirts and some rather nice windproof tops. Enough said.
I decided 11pm was a bit late to put up base tent in the rain, so have floor and sofa for tonight. We planned routes for tomorrow and Tuesday morning (sunrise 5.36am), as well as probably ones for Tues and Weds as night hikes.
And then an early night, as we have a 6hour walk before camping tomorrow, and at least two peaks to run up after putting up the tent and having dinner. Sounds lovely and restful :-)
