Swirl how in the wind

[ChrisG]

Another great day out in the lakes this time the southern fells. Weather was windy and changeable low cloud, rain and gusting winds, but still a very enjoyable walk. Her is the route and a few images

That is a fair old leg stretcher Chris and not in the best of conditions either by the looks of things, though the photos show you managed to get some dry breaks

Yes it was a good old walk to say I've had three weeks of on my hols. Weather was not as expected but it was still a very enjoyable walk. Ticked off a few as well

I remember one time I was up on Swirl How and the wind measured 102mph... i was literally being knocked over with every gust and had to crawl back down the ridge! It certainly seems to get the wind up there! - it must be that it is the first real hills off the sea??

Nice report and brave man doing all that in the weather!
