I just managed a quick walk up to Blawith Knott today, one of my favourite lesser heights. It was lovely up there with a warm, summery breeze and the birdsong of Meadow Pipits for company. I love it up there.

It was indeed a strange mix - really warm with big dark clouds to the west and blue skies to the east
