Wow, what a day today – it seems summer has arrived and it was the first time this year that my shorts had an airing. Fantastic views all around as well, you can’t beat it.

The start of the stone stairway. Dougal and Casper are going the wrong way but you can make out some people climbing the path in the distance.

Hartsop above How and the far eastern fells. I got talking on the climb and managed to miss the Priest Hole - next time!

Heading for High Hartsop Dodd - it looks like Dougal has been already and is coming back to see where we are!
