The blue skies have disappeared again and it was back to drizzle and general greyness for a walk over lowly High Rigg this morning. The views weren’t great today but the walk was pleasant enough with rain setting in during my ascent of Castle Rock.

The last summit of the walk from the first - looking across St John's in the Vale to Castle Rock on the way to Wren Crag. The highest point is the rocky knoll on the left.

Bassenthwaite Lake in the distance with Whinlatter to the left and Dodd to the right. Skiddaw is covered by cloud on the extreme right.

Now there's confusion - Birkett names this as High Rigg, Wainwright names the summit further north as High Rigg. Birkett calls the Wainwright High Rigg...Naddle Fell! I'll stick my tongue out to that one.
