Two foot

If a hill Is 2001 feet high it will receive a lot more attention than a toddler of 1998 feet.  This is why it has taken me 40 years to get around to walking the ridge at the top of the famous Wasdale Screes.  I have seen them from the far side of Wastwater.


I have seen then in the rain, in the snow, from all parts of Wasdale and even seen people doing a hill race with the screes as a backdrop.
Today I walked across the summit ridge.  The view was less of the screes and more about being on a superb vantage point. 
And just to prove I hold no grudges about the hill being two foot below par, here I am on the summit feeling very pleased with life.  Sca Fell is in the background.
