One of the advantages of knowing areas such as the Lake District well is that you know when certain walks are better done in particular weather. The stroll Mrs W and I took over the central fells a couple of weeks ago was one such day where that knowledge came to the fore. Normally this walk is a bog trot of the worst sort (It still claimed Claire's Trousers up to her knees), but 2 weeks of dry weather made the whole affair bearable. Parking in a new spot for we eventually arrived at Armboth Fell. Being fairly featureless and with few paths of it, I took the opportunity to teach Claire some bearing work and basic map reading, including concepts such as "Hand-railing". A bit of scrambling for me on the rocks near High Seat and seeing some deer near Bleaberry Fell, saw us strike off for home, taking in Raven crag, where this picture was taken over looking Thirlmere. A brief stop in Grasmere (A pint or two in Tweedies Bar) and a kip in the car as Claire drove home. Job Done
