It started off fairly bright this morning but that soon changed once I was up onto Steel Knotts. Looking up to the High Street ridge, the clouds came down on it and I thought I was in for a day in the clag – fortunately it lifted before I got there but the breeze made it surprisingly cold today.

The weather gradually closed in on the climb of Steel Knotts. Dougal and Casper are hiding on the rock tor that is the summit of Steel Knotts, Pikeawassa.

The ruin at the head of Fusedale before the climb to the High Street ridge and Wether Hill. It was so cold now I had to put a jacket on along with hat and gloves, not great for May.
