Another fine variation of these fell groups linked via the high passes between Sail Beck / Rigg Beck and Newlands Hause, this time approaching Grisedale Pike on the seldom used path over Hobcarton End.
I’d forgotten that this was half-term week and it was quite a culture shock meeting so many people on arrival at Grisedale Pike, but this was nothing compared to the traverse of Cat Bells the following day…
I missed out on a cold weather test for the Akto mesh panels by one night: unlike the previous night which was frosty, temperatures rose and it was mild and dry overnight like the previous trip, and both the inner and flysheet were completely dry in the morning.

Hi Geoff
Do you feel the cold when you camp on your own?,as I only felt warm when camping with someone?
Halfterm caught us out as we were on holiday in Cornwall with a few kids about.

Hi Lance,
It makes no noticeable difference to me, whether alone or together. I suppose with two people breathing out plus double the body heat it could theoretically make a slight difference to the temperature, but very little I would have thought (unless you are both together in a double sleeping bag!). I can well believe that the psychological effect of being with someone could make some people feel subjectively warmer.
