A walk cut short through lack of fitness and general feelings of unwellness on my part. A shame as it was a lovely day once we got up to the tops.
An early, misty start in Hartsop – be mindful of where you park here as people tend to block you in if you’re not careful. Rob is depositing a pound in the honesty box for the use of the car park.

Finally above the mist to see a lovely view of the valley – snow still clinging to the high tops
