A superb circular of Skiddaw's eastern tops, the cloud obviously finally lifting as I was descending. Lonscale Fell & Pike, Jenkin Hill, Lesser Man, Little Man, Sale How and return via Skiddaw House and the excellent Cumbria Way. Finished off with a run up to Latrigg-pound for pound the best WW to date, for the effort required vs reward..Alfa1M21/11/2023
