A wonderful day, spoiled by my unshakable flu, but wasn't going to not walk. Thanks to Paul we persevered and bagged Raven Crag, despite incredible tree falls across the main path which look unlikely to be cleared for the foreseeable future. Small rain shower in the middle of blue skies and great views. Still a boggy nightmare in places, but good to be out with a great walking companion.
