Reading the detail of this part two visit to Dovedale, it occurs to me that their complaints about the steepness of the hills, for instance, was perhaps because they tried to achieve too much in the course of one day.  It was all ups and downs, and they were steep, and they had lingered too long over the lunch table, so it cannot have been much of a surprise when they started flagging for the umpteenth time that day.  Oh, and going miles out of their way didn’t help either, did it?  I think we will pass on that bit, shall we?And I never knew that Isaac Walton came from this neck of the woods.  Honest !
