I climbed Everest, and then some...

Here's the route we walked over the fourteen days as tracked on the GPS:


We walked just over 200 miles, from start to finish, and crossing three national parks - the Lakes, the Dales and the Moors.

Ordinarily, the highest point of the walk would be in the Lakes, on Kidsty Pike, but we detoured on that stretch, as there were very low clouds - so our high point was at the Nine Standards Rigg, 650m high (2132 feet).

That's not to say we didn't climb a fair bit, drop a little, climb some more... Over the whole route, that added up to nearly eleven hundred metres of climb - or thirty six thousand feet.  Just for the record, that's one Everest, and then another four or five Empire State Buildings. Its just possible that's why my feet hurt!
