The route map of our walk

The weather wasn't looking to promising as we loaded the gear into the car at the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel

After the long drive round to Wasdale, it still hadn't improved that much. We decided to head up to Sty Head and see if things improved

Looking across the fields to the Wasdale Head Inn from St Olafs church yard

The interior of St Olafs church, it is beautiful inside and well worth a visit

Heading along the track through the myriad of stone walls towards Sty Head, somewhere in the clouds ahead

As we climbed higher up the valley the cloud base dropped even lower, leaving us very little to see

Looking back down onto Wasdale Head

It wasn't too long before we reached the cloud base. We made it to Sty Head but the weather was miserable, cold, cloudy and windy so we decided to return back down the same way for a pint in front of the fire at the Inn

Zooming in on Wasdale Head, once we'd dropped below the cloud base

Just typical, the cloud lifted off Sty Head once we were back down in the valley

It didn't last for long before the next lot of clouds rolled down from Sca Fell Pike

Zooming in on a gloomy looking Wastwater from the same spot

This sheep was fast asleep it didn't bother even though we walked right past it!

Looking across to Dore Head from Burnthwaite Farm

Looking up at Lingmell from the same spot

Burnthwaite Farm

Even though it was only a short walk, both Sheena and Tim had enjoyed it

One of the 'substantial' stone walls in the valley, the ridge behind leads really steeply up to the summit of Kirk Fell

A very cloudy Mosedale, no views of Pillar today 8-(
