There were real winter skies once more over Wasdale this morning with the ever present snow clouds combined with patches of blue and some strong snow showers. I took a slightly unusual route of to Greendale Tarn and from there up to Middle Fell; I traversed the fellside on a little used but good path to the tarn and then made a steep, rough and direct ascent to the summit. There was a thought for Wendy Juster on the summit today too.
