It is ages since I have been to Buttermere so I got up at the crack of dawn to get an early start to a predicted nice day. However, that failed to materialise although it did look as though it could brighten up but once I was up on the ridge it worsened and it ended up raining heavily.

Made it, but we are in the clouds on Red Pike. From here on it was persistent clouds and rain - often very heavy rain.

A quick break in the clouds gives a view across to Dale Head whilst Casper seems to have lost his head!
