Route Map

I had a shorter walk today in poorer conditions than yesterday up to the Dunnerdale Fells. Angus (the old trooper) was out as well, loving every minute of it of course! It seems like a while since I've been up here, certainly before the summer, yet it looks quite wintry already...

It's all a bit gloomy after the sunshine of yesterday heading towards Stickle Tarn.
