After completing Scarfell Pike, and enjoying a lovely chilli & rice (thanks Claire) we set off to Snowdon.

It soon became apparent that the car was not going to make it. It only just started, and it couldn’t get up the hills. Within a few miles of our journey approaching midnight we found the car couldn’t get up the hills, so on three occasions we all had to jump out, and push, Allan then drove off, only stopping when he reached a downhill bit. Running after a car at midnight when you have just done Ben Nevis & Scarfell Pike isn’t what we had in mind.

So the decision was made to drive home and swop cars. Allan did a brilliant job getting us through all the hilly bits (scary at times), but in the end he got too tired, so I had the pleasure of driving from Kendal to home. Then it was Graeme’s turn, who drove us all back to Snowdon in his car.
