The fabulous weather from this week continued today and it was well worth a visit to Wasdale for a walk up to Middle Fell. The light was just perfect and with the colours really starting to show it made for a lovely morning to be walking the fells.

Looking back down - the sky suddenly clouded over for a while from here.

A well earned drink on the climb. This pool always reminds me of Casper, a favourite watering hole of his.

Not quite warm enough for a swim today - the sunshine is deceptive as it was a cool wind.
