My preference today was for a shorter walk, although the climb to Loughrigg Fell is certainly not short on views. The skies were a bit dull with the odd glimpse of blue but it was quite still. It looks like my lens has had it too, that is why I couldn’t get a photo out of the camera on my last walk – if my memory serves me correctly I managed to drop it (again!) so today I was using a cheaper lens that I have as spare.
