As we sat at home in the dense fog at home, I knew it had to better than that higher up – come on Connie, get your glad rags on, we are in search of sunshine and blue skies! It didn’t take long to find it, the fells were brilliantly clear today with a temperature inversion to the south and the golden glow of a great sunset on our descent. A good choice to get out today I think!

We started off in coat, gloves and hat but once up in the sunshine it was really quite warm. Here we're heading for Red Tarn with Pike o' Blisco up ahead. I wonder who ended up carrying all the gear?

To the south, there was a temperature inversion in the setting sun. The central hump is Black Combe with the pointed Stickle Pike centre left.
