It was sunny at home this morning but further inland over the Lakeland fells there was lots of low lying cloud. The only place with any light it seemed was the south-western corner and even that was looking a bit hit and miss. It is always an enjoyable and relatively easy round at Dunnerdale. The clouds were scooting through all the time and it was pretty breezy up on the tops. At least it was a chance for Dougal to get out again!

Up at Stickle Tarn - spot the Dougal? (and Fletcher!)

Stickle Pike - this would be the last time the top was fully out of the clouds.

If anything there is even more cloud now climbing to Stickle Pike. I bumped into one of Connie's old teachers here, the only person I met all day so we stopped and chewed the fat about the good old days (when we used to work for a living!). The path to Stickle Pike is a great groove up the fellside but in my memory it was always a thing path in the grass.

Nothing to see here - Stickle Pike.

    What a coincidence ! Martin and I were just saying the other day that we hadn’t seen anything of you for ages, and then here you are ! We were up in the Lakes twice this year – two weeks in June, and one week with the family in August, June in Keswick and August just up the road to Keswick ! Pleased to see you and pooches are still tramping the fells !

      Hi Geraldine – yes, we are back and what a good feeling that is. Hopefully there will be a few walks to come from now on, Fletcher has some catching up to do.

      Thanks,
      Sean
