Eating berries and drinking from streams

Last July, we walked up Coniston Old Man. Hill-walking in the Lake District is much harder than in the Alps. For one thing, there are no cable cars to drop you off half-way up. For another, the paths are not well signposted. On this particular walk, we unintendedly strayed from the path on the way down, and ended up having to find our own way, fording streams and paddling through sedge marshes. Also in the Alps, you get refuges at the top where you can get food and drink while enjoying the magnificent views. In the Lake District, you have to eat berries and drink from streams.
