So it was going to be damp today! We headed down to Ambleside to go up Wansfell Pike to knock off another Wainwright for Rocky. My thinking being - if it's wet the walk won't be popular and Stock Ghyll will be spectacular. Good thinking on both fronts. Luckily, I checked the route and found that Wansfell Pike isn't Wansfell according to Wainwright - apparently Baystones is ...I'd have been pretty annoyed if we'd missed the proper top ...anyway, a great walk, Ambleside - Wansfell Pike - Baystones - Nanny Lane - Troutbeck - Robin Lane - Ambleside. The light was superb, but the weather was fairly rubbish!
