A cold and very wet walk up to meet Tim beneath the radar dome of Great Dun Fell. So cold in fact I had to change my coat half way up and add a second mid-layer. Very wet underfoot and fair play to Tim for walking the route at this time of year! We had a great chat on the way down and the time flew by. Trout Beck is absolutely lovely, even when its pelting it down!
