Taking advantage of the continuing high pressure, a quick dash into the Far Eastern Fells from Hartsop. For baggers this is an ideal route, as the final four tops can be bagged in less than half an hour! As the day progressed it unfortunately slowly clouded over.

I think Penrith is now supplied by Haweswater and its to help the spawning ground for eels - I presume they will have to restock? They plan to reduce the water level by 2m so the dam must being removed, imo its going to leave a nasty looking tide line round the tarn.
