What a beautiful morning it was and although quite hazy down below it did look as though it would be clear higher up and I wasn’t disappointed. The haze layer seemed to roll across from the east during the walk so I think it was a good idea to get out early. Nice to bump into StridingEdge fan David up on Middle Fell today too.

Dougal and Casper have found someone else to walk with - he must have sandwiches! The steep climb to Seatallan lies ahead.

A view of lovely Scoat Tarn flanked by Scoat Fell and Red Pike with Pillar putting in appearance directly above the tarn.

Looking in the other direction, the trig column and cairn clumped together over on the south western side.
