A round of Greenburn

I had watched the long range forecast for today see-saw back & forth between sun & heavy rain, as the week progressed even the short range forecast was indecisive! I awoke to rain and as I passed under Skiddaw the wind screen wipers were on full speed, as I headed South through the Lakes it became brighter. With the rain now passed it was time to dump the car and go for a walk.
