By any standard today's forecast was poor, a depressing 10% chance of cloud free summits was hardly inspiring, even by my standards! Something low and nearby was the order of the day and with little or no wind mist was boiling up from Whinlatter's conifer plantations, occasionally obscuring the views but today's summits provided an unexpected 100% cloud free summits. The developing cloud clung to the surrounding hills adding a touch of atmosphere but for once I had picked the right hills.
Early morning, touch of cloud around Broom Fell (R)...
