A pre-storm dash into the Uldale Fells

With what could only be described as a dire forecast and predictions of a 'Great Storm' today's walk was a quick wander over my local hills. The conditions when it wasn't raining were not that bad, despite the wind, when it did rain it was like being shot blasted! I was back home after a few hours to await for the 'Great Storm' that actually never arrived in Cumbria.

Looking back to Longlands from the Cumbria Way...



Longlands Fell summit towards Binsey & Overwater...

the route to Lowthwaite Fell before a squall arrived...

looking back to Brae Fell, the shower from hell has now past...

& down on Lowthwaite & Longlands fell...

 Little Sca Fell, as another shower comes through...

it was torrential on the summit of Great Sca Fell, but had past as the descent to Meal Fell began, looking down on Little Sca Fell, Lowthwaite & Longlands Fell...

Meal Fell & Great Cockup...

Looking back to Great Sca Fell...

Meal Fell's top & a bit more rain...

Trusmadoor...

Great Cockup to Great Calva still rainng & starting to get a bit blustery...

at least Skiddaw has briefly cleared...

looking up to Meal Fell & Trusmadoor, another band of rain passes through...
