The snow has virtually disappeared and the blue skies of last week have gone again. The warm front brought with it rain and general dreariness – not wonderful conditions for a walk, but at least we got some fresh air for our walk up to the central band of fells along the High Tove – Ullscarf ridge. These fells are renowned for their wetness and general bogginess at the best of times, so you can imagine what conditions were like today!

Great Dodd.
It may be raining, but it's still icy cold up here.

High Seat and High Tove from Middle Crag. I managed to walk past this first time and had to double back!
It's a bit damp on Shivery Knott now Angus!
Still on Shivery Knott, looking north east at the clouds advancing on us. It was heavy rain from now on.
