Andy and I have been inflicted with summer colds so we decided to take it easy yesterday and take a wander up Great Mell Fell. Our walk to the top was fine, although as we climbed, I was aware of the strong bracken smell on the wind. That really should have been a warning but on our descent, in search of a geocache, we took leave of our senses and headed off into the head-high, fly-ridden, ankle-twisting, pungent vegetation, getting hotter, stickier and in my case, more breathless by the minute. It was simply horrendous. We should have known better!
