Graham drove down from Edinburgh which meant I could spend more time on the hills as I was driven to and from the start of the route instead of having to walk an extra 5 or 6 miles just getting there.
We walked the hills on the south western part of the Lake District, with Dunnerdale to the east and the Irish Sea to the west. High winds again made walking hard and apart from one fierce hailstorm, it was a dry day. In the distance snow lay thickly on the high mountains at the head of Wasdale.
We romped over 8 tops in total, including Whitfell which is a Marilyn and at 572 meters, was the highest point of the day.
The picture below is taken approaching or final top of the day Woodend Heights, which overlooks Devoke Water. The Wasdale hills are just visible in the far distance.
