Ing Lane and The Tongue - this was taken just as it started raining and so has the honour of being the driest photo of the whole walk!

Further along the lane The Tongue is ahead and now we are walking in proper rain.

A 180 panoramic from the top looking towards Park Fell Head - at least it gives a good idea of the conditions.

If anything it is raining even heavier now on the way back and I am definitely feeling like a drowned rat.
