National Three Peaks - Day 2

We all had breakfast at 7:30am, we all ate them quite quickly.  I had some potato scones, they were quite fried.  Somehow nobody did porridge.

It was a short drive to Ben Nevis and off they went.  There was some internet at the bottom of Ben Nevis, so that gave me hours to entertain myself with Japanese and chess.  An hour and a half later, Jason turned up, his knee was playing up, so he came back down.  He really wanted to do Ben Nevis, which was a shame.  However, that meant we now have two dedicated drivers, which was a blessing.

As the day goes on, the car park was filling up, Ben Nevis is also popular with Europeans.

A few hour later, Matt turned up, his thigh was playing up.  He was so close to the top.  Then everyone else came back.  We went to the supermarket for lunch.  Jason drove us to Carlisle.  From Carlisle, we got some dinner and I drove the Wasdale Head.  Typical Lake District rural roads, which was not fun, even less fun when in a van.  There were a lot of sheep and an owl.

Jason and Matt stayed at the car with me, we tried to have a little sleep.  We succeeded in varying degree.

I drove ~80 miles, short shuttle to Ben Nevis plus Lake District rural road.
