Another day with non-existent views; the whole of the Lake District seemed to be enveloped in low lying cloud today with the promise of further (summer!) weather like this for a few days yet. I had a walk up to Black Combe, a relatively easy walk, and a nice one whatever the weather – at least the rain held off!

The way ahead following Whitecombe Beck. It is interesting to compare the predominately green colour of today's photos with those from last time here on 20th January

A misty Black Combe summit - I found an England flag on the way up, so it now resides on the top of the trig. column!
