Grasmere to Patterdale

A mere 7.5 miles or 12km

but about 900 meters up and 832 down

and I'm pooped.

Started with not much visibility but it is dramatic.

It didn't really improve

and we were climbing for the view.

And then all of a sudden it started to clear

 and we could see Grisedale Tarn

but as we got higher it didn't.

 Then as we walked along St Sunday Crag the view cleared,

but the wind was treacherous.

 The view of Ullswater: that's why we're here.

And then the rugged path down......
