15.22 The weather was poor as we arrived but we had time to spare so we decided to stay low and walked up Barrow and Outerside. It was a grey afternoon with very poor visibility and rain for the second half. Here is what we could see of Derwentwater on the way up . . . . | ||
4ish. On the summit of Barrow in the rain. (Wainwright #52 1493ft) | ||
17.01 . . . . and the only other photo I took - of the path back down from Outerside (Wainwright #53 1864ft) with Barrow in the top left corner. I repeated this walk in 2021 to get some photos from the summits. |
