An ascent via the tarns with Ian and M.
Route: Leaving the car by arrangement at Tweedies Bar to take the Easedale road to the main pitched path to Easedale Tarn for M to leave a solemn rose at the site of her father's ashes. Then on the path to Coledale Tarn, and round it to find Wainwright's grassy shelf - as wide as an arterial road' - turning up hill on the main path to reach the summit. Back down the main path towards tarns after a short heavy shower.
Conditions: Despite a poor forecast, cloudy with some sun to the top and only a single heavy shower before a warm evening.
Pub: Tweedies for lunch and Hardnott Continuum and Loweswater Gold before the walk. The Badger Bar for Barngates Tenacious Ted afterwards.
