Let loose in the Lake District for two whole days!  Camping at Great Langdale.

11th: Planned an early start as the Met Office website had promised a cloud inversion.  No fog when I checked at 5:30 though, so I left it until 8am to set off.
Route: Langdale (ODG) - Great End - Scafell Pike - Pen - Scafell Pike (again) - Esk Pike - Bowfell - Langdale (15 miles).

Bowfell, and looking back down Great Langdale.

 

 

Views from near Angle Tarn: Great Gable, and back towards the Langdale Pikes.

 

View North from Great End to Skiddaw and Blencathra.

12th:  Early start again, to strike camp in time to catch a bus from Ambleside.
Route:  Dunmail Raise - Seat Sandal - Fairfield - Hart Crag - Dove Crag - Little Hart Crag - Middle Dodd - Red Screes - Ambleside (10.5 miles).

Panorama from Seat Sandal (scroll right).  At last, a cloud inversion.  Not exactly 'valley fog', but a more subtle misty effect.

St Sunday Crag and Fairfield from Seat Sandal.
