A wash out

One of the very few walks we've abandoned.
According to the forecast, it was going to be 'sunny intervals'. Unfortunately what we got was low-lying cloud and persistent drizzle. The intention was to walk from Langsett over to the Derwent ridge, follow it along the valley and drop down to the reservoir for lunch. Then to walk back round the other side of the reservoir along the Roman Road and back to Langsett.

However, we set off in weak sunshine and light drizzle at about 9am. By 10:30 we were at the top of the ridge, but the cloud had lowered and we were getting soaked. Neither of us believe in walking for the sake of walking - we like to have a view - and so we agreed to call it quits.

On getting home, of course the weather cheered up - as you would expect. However, looking out at the hills from my bedroom window, I can see it hasn't changed much on the tops so I'm quite happy with the decision. There is always next month!
