It was predicted to be wet today but at least it was still dry when I set of on an early walk up to Middle Fell this morning. It was very dull and overcast though and the rain came just as I dropped down to Greendale Tarn and that made the return leg a damp and squelchy affair to say the least.

Greendale Tarn from the direct descent to it - I could hardly make it out through the mist until I was right upon it.
