Arrived by car to Edale, was raining hard i thought that was bad enough but then in my rush managed to slam the car door on my thumb! Blood everywhere ...nail went black. :(
What a start! Walked several miles and up Jacobs ladder, a very long and steep hill. At this time i realised some were already struggling even swapping backpacks. We got to the top tired hot and wet :( the top was like the moon very wierd funny grey rocks and we was stood inside a cloud. We climbed over 2000 feet.
















we followed the cliff edge... It was going dark we needed to set up camp! No perfect ground anywhere the ground was boggy and no running water... Eventually we got to a stream but it was dirty water, too late we just set up tents on rough ground. Soon as we did we was attacked by flies all over my face and in my ears :( so ate quick and got in my tent LOL
