Different day, different weather! It was about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday when I set off this morning though the wind was still strong in Wasdale. It was a good day for views though as the wind kept blowing those clouds away.
Wasdale - the classic view. There was a bit of a breeze blowing down the lake this morning.

The gorse is in full bloom and (unfortunately) the bracken is starting to unfurl now too. We will soon be head high in the green stuff!
