After a steep pull we were soon at the summit which surprisingly we had to ourselves for a few minutes, this was Tim’s first summit of Loughrigg Fell claiming his Wainwright count to 205 summits now, only 9 to go now which is such a nice place to find yourself, however Tim is taking it one step at a time & doesn’t seem to be in any rush to complete the big 214 anytime soon.
Sadly this was the only photo I managed to take as shortly afterwards a large family arrived celebrating their claim by sitting on top of the trig point, soooo there’s this guy (me) & I have a camera in my hand and you think it’s ok just to photo bomb my brief summit time by hogging the whole area.
What ever happened to politeness?
That rain cloud we had spotted over the Langdales had started to reach us leaving a few drops of rain in the air, but enough for me to put my camera back in its bag, within moments it had passed but it seemed to leave behind a different late evening light even though it was mid afternoon.
I think we can say goodbye to any hopes of sunshine from now, we press on. |
