Route Map

This morning it was raining but as the day went on the skies cleared and the sun came out - when it did so did we! It wasn't as clear or as warm as yesterday but it was pleasant enough to be out for a short walk and get somewhere high enough to survey the scene of our long Scafell walk from afar.
