The forecast for this morning was favourable & stupidly I ignored the North Western Fells which where free of cloud and pressed on through Keswick heading South. However the view of the Helvellyn fells shrouded in dank mountain mist from Castlerigg, was a game changer, time for a plan B. In the central fells I have one remaining Birkett top : The Benn, an often overlooked (by me anyway!) lump behind Shoulthwaite Farm.
Plenty of parking on the old road, mist licking The Benn, oddly parking is restricted to 2 hours?
