The forecast was looking good for this morning but when I pitched up at Wasdale Head at first light it looked anything but. The wind was fierce and the rain driving by the time I got to Sty Head. I made my first objective which was Lambfoot Dub, a small and remote tarn which nestles below Great End. The second objective was Scafell Pike but that went by the wayside in the end. Read on to see why…

I'd almost had enough by the time I got here, this was the 'over trousers and fleece stop'. The wind had been very strong and constant and now it was lashing with rain which all added up to make me wish I had stayed in bed.

It is clearing to the north with a view to Styhead Tarn and Derwent Water beyond from the Lambfoot Dub shelf.

Lambfoot Dub and Broad Crag. I went 'off piste' to find this tarn and now have it earmarked as a place to bathe next summer!
