Already committed to staying in Amblside on the Friday and the weather did not look great at all.

By starting early (and omitting the extension to Little Hart Crag) we managed to mostly stay ahead of it for a much better day than expected.

Little Hart Crag - the rain had started now so we decided to take the easy route back from Scandale to try and avoid the worst of it - which worked well.
