Drove down last night , up the mad windy road in the dark. Parked up at the Church and had a restless sleep.
Up early and up Hallin fell first and back down to the church.

Decided to go anti clockwise at this point. Good move I think.
Steeply up onto the ridge and along to Steel Knots.

From here down round and up a decent path and along to Wether Hill.
I'm getting used to these wainwrights and " high points"
Basically visit everywhere nearby to claim the summit- bit like the Donalds :D
Or just visit the highest point, or just enjoy your day out 👍
From here not much descent/ reascent yo Loadpot hill. ( 2 herds of about 10 🦌 here at the beallach )

On along to Arthur's pike where I met the 1st walker of the day. Had a natter , got the flag put. Sat down for a bit here.
My dad had passed away last week , his funeral is in 2 days.

The flag with Lest we forget was for him today.
Strange too , as at that point a couple of Typhoons flew low over Ullswater .

Sorry to hear about your dad ..whatever age we are, losing a parent is still tough. Looks like a fine walk - and a lovely tribute to your Dad.
