Route Map

After endless days of sunshine and warm weather, this morning was dull and threatened rain constantly. It was good to be back on the high fells and I made it back before the rain eventually came. I ended up doing a few direct routes to places rather than following the paths today for a bit of a change.

It was a bit grey over Ullswater.

Threading a way through the hags, this must be the driest they will ever be.

Phew, that was a steep climb to Rest Dodd.

The wind has whipped up here now as well and there are spots of rain - time to escape.

Descending back to Hartsop the steep way.
