Fells climbed: Swirl How, Great Carrs, Grey Friar and Dow Crag
.
.
The forecast was set fair for Sunday, so loaded up the car with all the essentials, (Food, camera, trusty Sherpa Mrs W) and headed to Coniston. As the weather was so grand, we took a detour up to Tarn Hows. Sadly my early start worked against me and the sun was barely up when we arrived. The waterfall scene at the bottom was the only image worth salvaging from the detour. We arrived in Coniston and began the trek up to Levers Water. Spotting a waterfall in full spate, I thought another shot would look nice. I set up the tripod and then noticed a camera bag like mine in a pool bel.......oh. I now know that cameras don't like water much. To say this took the "jam out of my doughnut" (and potentially £400 out of my wallet) was a mild understatement. However, we plodded on up to Swirl How, where the summit pose was shot using a camera phone. (The exercise regime looks like it working) There was a faint smattering of snow and ice on top which hopefully augers well for Winter. We then proceeded to "bang out" the other hills on our itinerary, leaving us close to sunset when we arrived at the Sun hotel for a hard earned pint of Bluebird. The last picture is the Scafell range from Great Carrs, A testament to the quality of the weather

Let the camera thoroughly dry before turning it on and you might be okay. Otherwise I see an insurance claim in your future.
