Che’s Postponed Borrowdale Trip
This trip was all ready to go two years ago when Che took a leader fall and knackered his ankle.

For walkers and scramblers, there's plenty to occupy you in Borrowdale. Three of us are already booked into the Borrowdale Youth Hostel and hope that some of you can join us.
