Day 3 on the trail

Hostel in Rosthwaite was great; English breakfast buffet filled us up for the mountain climbing ahead. Our nine mile short day was pure hell - duped by a cute British couple to take the upper  or scenic walk, we learned that scenic actually means extra miles and extra elevation. You wouldn't believe the walk at cliff's edge. We are on our second night at a youth hostel at Grasmere, the oldest youth hostel in England. We had our best meal yet of steak and red wine pie (phyllo), garlic & leek mash (potatoes), dessert was rhubarb cobbler with custard or chocolate pudding. Oh, and yes, we've been playing around with the iPad and taking pics of food, but can't yet figure out how to download. Kelly thanks Matt for her balance work. More tomorrow!
