Blencathra with Ellie. Ellie wanted to get some days before sending off for her Winter ML Training. Ellie was leading and navigating in poor vis and had wanted me to follow but not navigate so she could do it herself. Ellie had a bit of a wobble and freak out at the top in the clag as total white out. Really disorientating. I got bothy out. We had a hot black current and something to eat then navigated off the hill together.
Area :Northern Fells
Generally this is the area to the north of the A66 which runs from Penrith to Cockermouth and the town of Keswick.
