Another section of the Pennine Way this weekend, but I also had some company on this trip - Matthew King (@hillplodder on Twitter). The forecast was disastrous; rain, rain and more rain, so to be honest I wasn't looking forward to an overnight pitch on the top of the Kinder plateau. In the end though it was a but chilly, foggy and we suffered only a fine mizzle during the night. We had an excellent pitch, very comfortable (until my air mat decided to deflate) and close to the Kinder Low trig point.
