Being a walker of conscience I didn’t drive to the car park on the top Northern edge of Latrigg, but left the car in Keswick.
So out of Keswick via Spooney Green Lane and the tourist path up to Skiddaw. Given that my joints were aching from yesterdays walk and it was misty and it was p******* it down this was quite a brutal slog. Unfortunately no views to enjoy, and then once on the summit plateau absolutely battered by the North wind. So all I was left with was soaking wet feet (my fault I think – gaiters shouldn’t have been over the waterproofs), aching legs and more positively a sense of achievement .
I had planned to do Skiddaw little man and Lonscale fell but decided not to in the foul weather.
I did detour of to the summit of latrigg on the way down, and again due to the mist , no views.
About 11miles OS OL4 North Western Area
