A slightly aborted walk in the Lakes
       | | I think we were somewhere near Elterwater; at least, that's where we parked. The walk was indeed aborted about halfway, as M**** tripped over . . . something . . . and got a bit muddy (yes, I know, the ground was exceptionally dry; just go with it) and then R******, in his infinite wisdom, went to help out by fetching some water to help wash the mud away. Trouble is, he didn't really think about his own safety in clambering down a steep, uneven, muddy, overgrown and generally very difficult (even perhaps dangerous) bank down to the stream. Somehow, he managed to cut his knee on something but was otherwise unscathed, although didn't actually manage to reach the stream itself. I managed to find a safer path down to the stream and returned with some stream water. On inspection, the cut to R******'s knee was deep enough to require stitches (or sutures, as they apparently call them), so A****** and I had to hurry back to Elterwater (about a twenty walk, perhaps, if that) and drive back to pick up R****** and M****. Then there's another long story about the NHS, accident and emergency, waiting rooms, four and half hours waiting . . . for nothing. The conclusion being glue applied the next day to the cut, over in Morecambe, and all sorted.
