Sunday 19th October, Loughrigg Fell

My plans for today had to change due to Kevins ankle injury becoming worse overnight. After some discussion we agreed that Day 2 of the scrambles course should be scrapped and instead I went for a walk onto Loughrigg Fell with Myra. The weather forecast for the day was poor with strong winds and heavy rain showers so I opted for a shortish route.

Our route started at Clappersgate and followed the path up to Lily Tarn before heading over the tops to the summit. The route back was a slight variation on our outward route.

We had a pleasant walk across the top of the fells and managed to avoid the worst of the weather today by having an early finish. We spent the afternoon doing some last minute "gear" shopping in Ambleside for our upcoming trip to Vietnam.
