I just had time for a quick walk this morning up to Holme Fell from Hodge Close. The weather was predicted to worsen throughout the morning and this turned out to be correct. Luckily I missed a soaking and although it was dull, the views were still good from this diminutive fell.

It's looking quite autumnal at the smaller reservoir.
