After yesterday's sunshine, the morning started with showers. Shouldn't complain as this is a typical summer's day and the Lakes have to be comprised of something!
Set off to climb Robinson, ascending some 1900' in just over an hour. Whilst the ascent was difficult, I did meet a family coming down. Personally, I would have not attempted the descent and they admitted they were slipping all over the place - and I knew that they weren't even at the steepest part!
The view from the top of Robinson was amazing - so clear - so cold (about 7°C) - and so nice to see the familiar peaks from another angle.
The descent across Snockrigg was, as expected, given the rain, wet under-ankle and the bottom of my trousers became covered in snock. Back in the house, the only way to wash them was whilst in the shower!
