Notes

A wander around ribblehead to nurse hangovers after the Blackrose do, and provide some entertainment for the kids. I first ventured down Gunnerfleet cave solo, but did not venture far in my normal clothes, it's rather tight and rifty without proper gear. We then did upper Thistle?, until the water got too deep for everyone's non-caving footwear. Though I did walk across the fell and do a through trip in the other direction.

We then did Runscar 2 to 3, Daz , Daz of daughter and JP left early, due to not wanting to get wet. Where as me, Carol (carrying Oscar most of the way) and Scaife did the through trip, I somehow kept my feet dry.
