A short walk in dramatic, fast-changing conditions with Angie, Alistair and Jake.
Route: From the lower Ambleside car park, through town and via Stock Ghyll Force to the main western path to the top (quite busy). Down the southern ridge via the observatory (not meeting a soul) and back.
Conditions: Initial low cloud, occasional heavy bursts of rain and even a snow shower on the top - but not the forecast lightning!
Pub: Hawkshead Brewery Beer Hall for NZPA, WPA, Cumbria Five Hop, Drystone Stout and a mug of tea!
