OK - so those that say Day 3 or 4 are the toughest - lied. What a long day this was. We left Patterdale at 9 am and immediately started our ascent all the way up and over the High Street range. The height gain for today was 2500 feet and we crossed over Kidsty Pike, the highest point crossed on the C to C walk. Even though we had a beautiful view of Bannerdale Valley, unfortunately the summit was covered by cloud and mist and we were a bit disappointed not to be able to see the view from the top. After a steep descent we walked at least 4 miles along the Haweswater Reservoir and through some wonderful country, finally arriving in Shap at 7pm. We were so tired that we barely made it to the closest pub for dinner.
