A decent and dryish day on the fell. Starting from Ambleside it was up straight up onto Wansfell Pike with some cracking views over Lake Windermere. Then along a rather damp and slushy ridge to Baystones - the true summit of Wansfell and regarded as the Wainwright Wansfell for purists. I doubt I am a Wainwright purist, especially for my second round, but it made a day of it and meant we had a more gentle descent via Nanny Lane into Troutbeck (sandwiches on the bench in the rain) before skirting round Wansfell via Robin Lane. Lane may have been a debatable term, given the stream-like nature, in places, of both lanes. Rocky will be tired, bless him, but he loved it - especially the ridge, the Ravens and snow.
