High Street & Hartsop Dodd // The Lake District

A last minute change of route due to weather made me opt for a circular route in the eastern fells, taking me up onto High Street; the ancient road used by the Romans. I was really hoping to get some views down from the summit, looking over Blea Water and to Harter Fell beyond but sadly as soon as I reached The Knott it was clagged in for most of the way.

It certainly wasn't a good day for photographs but by 'eck it was good for the soul! Thick cloud, high winds and fleeting moments or drama made this a top day in the fells!
