Day 2 - last day of sun!

According to the weather forecast, today is the last day of clear sunshine this week! Well it would be, not only as I'm on holiday but I need some fine weather to get my boat work all done at the yard.

Another full fried breakfast this morning to start the day right before setting off to Dungeon Ghill and to the summit of the Pike of Bliscoe. A cracking days walking. Lovely sun with a refreshing breeze and a great 8 mile walk which had everything: stunning views, not too many people, a little scramble to the top, bubbling becks and the finale of a beautiful tarn surrounded by woodland. Here we are setting off - note the people scrambling up the hill at the start of the trail.
Hopefully this evening we plan to set off into the fells to get some pictures of the sun setting over the dales before returning to our campsite, (if the awening hasn't blown away as theres a stiff breeze blowing up!)
In fact at the to of Bliscoe, the wind was so strong it was hard to stay upright as I reached up to touch the cairn on the summit. Simba had to stay on his lead as he almost got blown off the crag.

Respect, Andy! You're keeping your nose in front even on your hols, I am impressed. Steve seems to have had a classic induction day!

Happy hiking

Thanks although a dodgy Orange internet connection isn't helping!
