Knott & Great Calva from Longlands with a touch of weather

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...

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.
