| 15.14 We stayed at the Patterdale hotel 18 months ago and although we looked out at Place Fell every morning at breakfast, and used it as a guide to the cloud height, we did not climb it. But today we had arrived in the lakes in time for an afternoon walk from the hotel car park, although we are staying in Windermere. |
One cannot sojourn at Patterdale without looking at Place Fell and one cannot look at Place Fell without duly setting forth to climb it. The time is very well spent. |
