With a good 'Felltops' forecast we set off to do the Coledale round. A Lakeland classic....but the weather forecast was telling fibs - as other walkers acknowledged. Swirling cloud lowered and turned to rain - cold rain and very little visibility. Wet and slippery in parts, so rather than do the whole horseshoe we did the southern half of: Barrow Door through to High Moss and onto Sail, then Crag Hill (Eel Crag) and down to Coledale Hause before descending into the valley. We decided against Causey Pike as coming off it down onto Sleet How is steep and slippery at the best of times. Back home and it had been dry and sunny all day!
So a few pictures - not many.
