with the intention that they will come in useful next time:
- Don't walk 17 miles and expect to be able to move tomorrow.
- The 77 Borrowdale bus exists for a reason. Don't be a hero.
- The sandwich shop in Keswick does a special filling of the day that is almost always interesting and delicious.
- In a day's walking on a sunny day more water will be needed than can be comfortably carried, so refill where possible.
- There is no better sight after walking many miles on a sunny day with a heavy rucksack than an ice cream shop or van.
- Taking sunblock, even in April, was very sensible.
- Doing the Castle Crag ascent from Grange 8 days after it's been on BBC2 will not result in a great amount of isolation or serenity.
- A camera with a 28-135mm IS lens attached is heavy and awkward around the neck and will likely remain in the rucksack most of the time as a result.
- A camera with a 50mm f/1.8 lens attached is light and unburdensome and results in the free and frequent shooting of many pictures.
- Carting a tripod to Keswick and back without ever once using it is stupid.
- I didn't need to take 3 camera batteries. One would have been okay this time, two to be safe. Wondered if I made the right decision leaving the charger behind, but there was clearly no way I would have ever needed it for this duration.
- 4GB/day is not an excessive amount of CF to budget on days when the camera is pointed at lots of animals.
- Should have taken my iPod charger. Even with the limited need for digital audio while I was there, the travel to and fro still drained my battery.
- The DS charging cable was a good thing to take, to avoid being deprived of Nurikabe and Slither Link.
- A 200 page book is not enough reading material.
- Most useful thing I packed: brimmed hat
- Least useful thing I packed: tripod
Photos from the first day of my Lake District trip are already up on Flickr, with more to follow.

Please, PLEASE keep it up!
Informative article, gets right to the point , I was actually asking myself the same questions and stumbled upon your post this morning while having breakfeast.
So you are right, Obama chose his words well, If you like your current health care you will not have to change it only as long as you sit still and do not move. You twitch and you will HAVE to go to the public option It is NOT mandatory NOW, it will be however one day as there will no longer be any insurance companies left.
99% accurate but you've got a bit of, well, to put it bluntly, garbage there.
