Skiddaw - Wednesday 4th November 2015

I have a few days holiday left to take and expectation of cloud free summits and complete cloud inversions seems a good reason to use one today !

A misty drive to Keswick and hopes of the cloud free summits start to fade, even a delayed start for some essential shopping and a second breakfast don't help much !!!

Anyway on with it, up through the woods to the Latrigg car park and then the big slog to the summit. It is so mild again, could have got away with shorts ! The summit is not clear, it's v. misty ! But nav is straight forward, descend the BG route, over Hare Crag and then up Great Calva. Time is against me, as always, so once down to the River Caldew I follow the track along to Skiddaw House Youth Hostel and then along below Lonsdale Fell, back to the car park and then through the woods. 

As always, tea in the Cali tastes good, so does the tea and cake in Fishers :-) A good day out, but it passed far to quickly :-(
