Two more Wainwrights ticked off for Rocky on what has to be said, wasn't the best of days for the weather! Low cloud and rain ....actually used a compass to confirm what we knew and used a grid reference App to help try and find the actual top of Wether Hill. We parked at Moorhill farm took the signed path up to The Hause; from there we found ourselves unintentionally on the top of High Kop before crossing to Wether Hill. The top is rough grassland - peaty, but it is marked by a cairn on the path and then three flat stones to the right mark the actual summit. From there we had a brief glimpse of Loadpot Hill before the cloud reformed. After Loadpot we retraced or tracks to the tarn between the two tops and headed off on the path which, with a bit of hunting, led down to the buildings at Howe, where we followed the wall along to Carhullan and back to the car. The two highlights of the day being a cracking view of a short-eared owl which flew up just infront of us on Wether Hill and a large patch of chanterelles as we came back to the car.
