Descended below Striding Edge in a fine evening to Patterdale, 
and were comfortably entertained at Guelderd’s Hotel, where 
everything was ready for us in the way of tea-dinner and beds. 
Sir Walter and Lady Trevelyan were staying at the hotel. 
Visited the son of a Mr. Mortimer from Manchester, who was 
in delicate health, and prescribed for him. 
The six who remained at Ambleside, finding that the day 
cleared up, had walked by Rydal and Grasmere and came over 
the lower part of Helvellyn, reaching Patterdale late in the 
evening. Mr. Soubki remained behind the party on Helvellyn 
and lost his way, but reached the inn late in the evening. 
The evening was remarkably fine, and it was with difficulty 
that the party was induced to retire to rest. 
Some continued boating and walking till 12 at night, others put 
their plants into paper.
