For once, the weather in the Lakes was better than the forecast for the Peak. …and I was heading there anyway for Robin and Amy’s party. Lower Falcon Crag was another place I hadn’t visited in 20 years, and an ideal spot to meet up with Robb, Steve and Steve.

Stunning views over Derwent water and up to Skidaw, and some great climbing – though the rock is a bit iffy in places.

…and some of the fixed gear leaves a bit to be desired. ..

Nothing like a few good routes to work up an appetite for birthday cake.
