Hopegill Head and Ladyside Pike

Finally we are on the fells again. Nothing too taxing, we are definitely not fell fit!

Someone wants to be off

Walking up Hope Gill, the forecast is for the low cloud to clear by about midday, let's hope it does!

Breeze is very happy to be here

We were in and out of the cloud a bit as we got higher, but basically it was gradually clearing ahead of us. When you're walking up a lovely gill like this, it doesn't actually matter if there is cloud about, the beck keeps your attention anyway

How many sheep can you see?

Looking back down towards Swinside where we are parked. The car is out of view 

Me and my Dad

It was very windy on top but just as promised the cloud was beginning to clear. We sat in the lea of a wall between Hopegill Head and Ladyside Pike and had our bite to eat.

Breeze has learnt how to take a selfie


Ladyside Pike ahead

Windy up here

But we walk back down to the Swinside road in lovely warm sunshine

A really lovely walk for three not very fit fell walkers! Just a bit over 5 miles and the Fell Forecasters had the weather spot on today.
