Hardraw to Great Shunner Fell

Initially beautiful morning as the sun rose behind us, turning cold and blustery as we got closer to the top, where we discovered Chris had inadvertently dropped his car keys in my van, so we turned round and went back. Good job we realised, as we were using two vehicles to complete a planned linear walk from Hardraw to Thwaite, and upon reaching Chris's car we would have had to backtrack, up and down the mountain to get back to my van!
