Walked with Andrew on Sunday afternoon. Lovely early spring day although hazy conditions prevented distant views.

Managed to cut my hand on a rusty nail when going over the style next to the summit of Wansfell :( Went to the doctor's surgery the next day and had a tetanus booster - just as well as the last one I had was in 1997!! :shock:

Nevertheless an enjoyable little walk. :clap:
