A drive out over Hartside and Nenthead and a quick trudge up and down Killhope Law. Followed a plastic-mesh path serving a line of grouse butts most of the way up, which mitigated the worst of the boggy ground. Dismal weather, overcast, drizzle, light rain but cloud-base above tops, so got some views (extensive but rather featureless).
