Parked at the west end of Backwater dam and walked across the dam in dry conditions, started up the heathery slope and soon the rain started. After Tuesday, stopped and put on waterproofs straight away, went on up to the south summit in a deluge from here simply followed a fenceline northeast to the north summit, remembered to take a photograph, still raining, before heading west back to the road and squelching back to the car.
