Not too Bad a Day in the Lakes

Despite an awful Saturday and miserable start to Sunday, the day turned out well in the Lakes and the rock was summer-dry.

Aspirant Chris and I were keen to suss out the proposed CC hut site (and very well sited it seems indeed) so decided to spend the morning on South Castle Rock. We met up with some Barrow guys, one a Fell & Rock member.
