Grisdale To Dollywaggon and Nethermost Pike

Grisdale To Dollywaggon and Nethermost Pike

Another great day in the Lakes. Patterdale to Helvellyn over Striding Edge and back via Nethermost Pike, Dollywaggon, Grisdale Tarn and back along Grisdale itself.
Very windy going agross SE making it a bit more fun but at least it kept dry for most of the time.

Skiddaw, will I ever see the view?

Looking from Under Skiddaw towards Grisdale and Grasmoor Group

This Sunday descided to climb Skiddaw. I've been up this tottering pile of slate several times and never seen the view over Keswick and Derwent Water, which I am lead to believe is superb.

The weather was foul above 1800ft with wind and low cloud obscuring the views. Missed the right turn on the way down and ended up almost in Keswick before realising. Even after skirting around Under Skiddaw it meant a much longer walk back to the car.
