Jeremy heading up into the cloud and onto the summit.

When we reached the summit there was no way we could camp there – like Richard and I did last year. What we should have done then was head home – but we thought we could find somewhere out of the weather to camp.! That however did not work out.

We did however have a great day in Lakes. We had an excellent walk to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston in good company. The variable weather gave plenty of good photo opportunities. And we all got home safely with a lot of wet kit to dry out!

There was a chance for one more photo before getting back to the car. There was a lull in the weather at just the right moment.
