Campers in Buttermere: Jeremy's Birthday Party.
There was a good turnout for this meet, with all spaces in the hut taken, forcing Al, Graham and Eric to camp Nearby. Unfortunately the weather did its worst on the Saturday, with horizontal sleet on the tops around Buttermere. By the end of the day the drying room was full to overflowing of very wet clothes and the Bridge Inn was full of dry and thirsty walkers. The Sunday was a much better day, with swimmers seen in Buttermere.
Thanks to all who came along and made this an enjoyable weekend, hope to see you in April when I've booked the hut again, in the hope that this time we might have decent weather.
