Route Map

The weather worsened throughout the walk today, starting off as rain with the cloud quickly closing in on the summit. There was a stiff breeze on the top too and it felt decidedly wintry. Shame about the lack of views!

Birks Bridge rapids. The distant pyramid is Bow Fell, visible for the only time today as the cloud soon came in to cover it.

Some more shots of the rapids...

A misty summit of Harter Fell - Casper certainly seemed to enjoy it rolling around up there!
