2011
A week spent at Dockray in the Eastern Fells making the most of wet weather, low
cloud & high winds; fortunately, the rain didn't last all day & most walks were
done in the dry (excepting wet feet) but high winds forced a change of plans on
the walk onto Skiddaw & floods at the head of Derwent Water meant a detour by
road around Grange |
