Dougal said he fancied a walk today so we chose somewhere that he could manage plus found somewhere away from the grey sky and general dullness of the valleys.
We were still under cloud when we set off but there were glimpses of blue sky appearing as we followed the Park Head Road.
Suddenly we were in the sunshine. Below, towards the coast, there was a dense blanket of fog over the lower ground. Here there were more clouds but they were wispy - a semi-inversion!
Looking to the Woodland fells (Blawith Knott, Great Burney and Kirkby Moor) appearing above the dense, lower clouds.
Closer up.
Made it to the summit with blue skies but it didn't look like this would last for long as there was a strong, cold breeze blowing in with some heavier cloud coming.
Fletcher and Dougal.

From the cold descent.
