Weather: Overcast, light drizzle throughout. 10°C

I’m still on ‘tekkin it easy’ mode at the moment but I will be back on the rough stuff soon enough. This is always a delightful walk whatever the weather and today it was drizzly and overcast. That didn’t really take too much away from the walk though and it seemed unusually quiet this morning – there wasn’t a soul around anywhere.

It was a bit murky this morning but quite still and a pleasant enough temperature, here looking towards the Coniston fells, shrouded in mist.
