Weather: Long sunny spells. 9°C

What a gorgeous day it turned out to be today with long sunny spells and good, clear views and it was too nice to resist a quick jaunt up to Holme Fell with an easy climb from Hodge Close. Despite the sun it was still a little on the chilly side – I was still wearing gloves today.
