Route: leaving Steve’s car at the Kirkstone pass car park and heading uphill on the paved path to the summit. Then down the ridge as far as the Struggle for Steve and Tom to be picked up and returned to their car, Lois picking me up tantalisingly close to the Golden Rule some minutes later.
Conditions: low cloud and no views. Varying rain. Very wet under foot.
Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley, for Hawkshead WPA and Cumbrian Five Hops.
