Approaching the final steep pull up onto the summit

A rather bleak looking summit cairn on Hen Comb

Due to the strong winds on Hen Comb and the heavy rain we decided to return back to Loweswater by the same route

Enjoying the view on Little Dodd! The conditions were slightly better down here than they were on the summit of Hen Comb. They were still lousy, I took a short video clip so you can judge for yourself! Conditions on Little Dodd
