It was a bit grey and damp for a short walk circling Glenamara Park above Patterdale, but at least it wasn’t raining after the downpour of last night. Everywhere was very wet though and the wind on the tops was quite chilly with only brief glimpses of sunshine to provide some cheer.

There was an occasional touch of blue sky to the north-west, here looking to Ullswater from the climb to Birks.

Saint Sunday Crag with some stubborn snow still lingering, Dollywagon Pike and Nethermost Pike to the right.
