Two and a half days short break in the Lake district. I travelled up on Sunday and booked into a B&B in Keswick. The plan was to meet up with my cousin Paul and do a walk with him on Tuesday as he was travelling up on Monday. On Monday I decided on a repeat of the walk I did with Anne over 10 years ago (2012 I think) which got me hooked on the Lake District and the Wainwright 214 challenge.
The forecast (which was corect) was for rain all day. I parrked up at Chapel Bridge car park in Little Town and headed up to Hause Gate. Given the rubbish weather , the navigation wass very straightforward due to the fact I had done this before and the path up to Maiden Moor and High Spy was excellent.

The weather really closed in once I got onto the ridge - hence not many photos

I slipped over on a wet rock on the way down, but fortunately only suffered a brised hip (and wounded pride !!).
Typically, as I arrived back at the car park the sun made an appearance!
However, even with the rubbish weather a brilliant walk which repeated the 2nd and 3rd Wainwrights I had completed all those years ago.
