A surprisingly pleasant day weather-wise. Went into mizzly clag going up Atkinson Pike & across the saddle, but on the summit the cloud cleared to give some cracking views while we sat with our coffee & sandwiches. Still haven't quite rationalized the descent from the end of Souther Fell ridge to Mungrisdale.
