High Pike
‘Caldbeck fells are worth all England else’ so the saying goes…
High Pike (Caldbeck)
High Pike
Today I was joined by Robin for a walk up to Carrock Fell and High Pike and the weather wasn’t looking too clever early on this morning when it was absolutely bucketing down with rain. We held off the start for a little while and found the best of the weather anywhere in the Lakes I think for this good, if squelchy, round of the Caldbeck Fells.

It started off bright enough this morning but once on Rake Trod, the wind really picked up and almost immediately it started snowing. The arctic conditions were predicted this weekend but it came as a shock to the system nevertheless. I normally run warm when I am out but I was chilled to the bone today, so I wonder what the wind chill factor was?
