I had time for another short walk this morning and things didn’t look too promising at the start but at least it was fine. Lo and behold, the sun came out giving ever better views shortly after the start of the walk. I ended up visiting Ivy Crag twice, for one reason and another…

The Old Man of Coniston with Holme Fell cairn visible to the right of the central ridge from Ivy Crag.

Holme Fell summit. Hmm, now where did I put that lens cap? After a bit of a search around I came to the conclusion I must have dropped it over on Ivy Crag - so back over there it was, retracing my steps.
