Brian Doub contemplating a tasty sky.
Tasty sky. Looking towards Blencathra.
Sometimes it was scratchy on the cliffs
.... and then you got hints of lift-off. Heading over towards Clough.
NE/ENE face of Clough. Thermals never got it together. Bitty stuff. Brian on GTO 2.
Headed back to main Wolf Crag cliffs and beginning to climb out up the slopes towards Dodd
Finally, climbing out with Brian. Strong climb to near base (5000'+)
Looking NE towards Ullswater.
Due north - about to set off south towards Helvellyn
South - Helvelynn with meaty clouds above it.
The western fells.
Grasmere - very nearly a landing by Rydal Water
Brian is just above the ridge line in the distance (with lots of trees).
Slowly climbing and the crossing of Great and Little Langdales. Last of the sun and great skies. Less good to the south.
Looking south towards Coniston Old Man - quite a different sky. Should have gone west onto north face of Wetherlam.
Probably should have gone deeper into the hills.
Coniston village ahead - school field and the waiting five buses.
Looking back and towards Yewdale.
