A lovely start to the day with blue skies and a calm tarn, wet underfoot all day until the final few miles into Sedbergh. The descent of Wild Boar Fell and the route over Bluecaster being the worst, but trail shoes make it not too bad. The route over Bluecaster gave great views but the terrain is pretty bad, don't think I'll be coming back to do this Tump again! The valley route into Sedbergh was great, very quiet and good paths for the most part.
