February has been a vile month, with pretty constant rain & gale force winds, fortunately today brought a slight improvement in the weather, there was still gale force winds but at least the rain initially held off and the sun made an appearance - almost spring like.
The sun not quite up from Longlands Fell...
but soon made an appearance as did a generous helping of blue sky, Binsey & Overwater...
struggling to stand on Longlands Fell...
a glance back to Lowthwaite & longlands Fell...
Brae Fell sunny summit, my face looked like a fighter pilots pulling high g...
the Sca Fells & Knott in cloud...
Little Sca Fell's summit, Skiddaw's summit hidden in cloud...
Great Sca Fells summit cairn & puddle...
Knott looking towards Skiddaw, both now out of cloud...
Blencathra on the over hand was smoking like a volcano...
big height lose en-route to Great Calva...
I haven't decided what side of the fence is the wettest both are High Tovesque...
looking back on the final pull, at least its now dry underfoot...
Great Calva's summit
Blencathra & Lonscale Fell seperated by Glenderaterra...
Glenderaterra, Thirlmere can be seen on a clear day...
Hause Gill, a mini Gasgale Gill...
Great Cockup looms into view, another fair lose of height...
Skiddaw still clear, but the weather building up on the other side of Bass didn't look good...
Great Cockup & grouse butt, as the wind climbs the Beaufort Scale & the rain hits...
rain & wind lashed summit cairn...
Skiddaw's slowly being envelope in cloud & rain, last photo of the day...
Meal Fell was dropped from today's round as the rain & wind escorted me back to Longlands...
