A walk, with Ian Lyne, in contrasting weather conditions.
Route: leaving the car at the upper Ambleside carpark and taking the path through Rydal Hall to the steep paved path up Nab Scar and Heron Pike and then along the ridge climbing into cloud before the summit of Fairfield where there were hints of views out of the mist. Then down via Hart Crag, Dove Crag, High Pike and Low Pike down the awkward step and then forced by that to continue to Low (rather than High) Sweden Bridge.
Conditions: initially bright sun and hot. Later ascending into clouds. Descending into a cloudy wintry day.
Pub: the Golden Rule, Ambleside for disappointing Double Hop and better Dizzie Blonde.
