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.

Looking back to hills poking out of the cloud
Climbing out of the mist slowly
Finally above the mist to see a lovely view of the valley – snow still clinging to the high tops

We cut the walk short here and head down the valley, Pasture Bottoms, following Pasture Beck
