British countryside, British weather

This weekend coming I'm hiking 25 miles over Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, plus travelling, eating and trying to sleep, in under 30 hours. As an indicator of what the weather usually does, when we went up Scafell PIke as a practise walk someone uttered "My god, I can actually see it. I don't think I've ever seen Scafell before, just walked up and down it...". I doubt I'll get to enjoy the scenery we're walking through!

Trekking up three wopping hills is our way of being thankful that we're still fit and healthy, and in order to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. If you fancy encouraging some nutters and helping a good cause, you can donate at http://www.justgiving.com/The-Sangria-Pact or just send a text to 70070 that reads PACT99 and then £5 or £10, or whatever your donation is.
