Post COVID half birthday walk. Cloud shrouding the tops. Up from Thackwaite onto Hatteringill Head. Already in thick mist. Onto Fellbarrow, Smithy Fell, Sourfoot Fell, raining and mizzle now in the mist. Onto Low Fell and further on to Loweswater Fell. Sitting having my lunch there and the mist cleared. Wow. What a view. Best reveal Ive had in many years. Gob smacked. Blessed. Walked down to the cairn at the viewpoint. Wore my camera out. All day in thick mist and then this. Fantastic day out. Thats 2 more Wainwrights and 6 Birketts. 19 Wainwrights left to do.Mark T16/07/2020
