Start	Keswick Youth Hostel
Route	Less well trod route to Skiddaw, then the other summits in the order listed above.
Company	Tim, Rachel, Jo, Andrew
Weather	There was a lot of cloud and we got a bit soggy on top.
Notes	At our lunch stop we have a good view of a big sailing race on Bassenthwaite Lake. We wished we hadn't added Dodd as an extra summit - it was surrounded by a vast cloud of flying ants and the path back was non-existent owing to forestry work that had recently taken place.

Summits	Wetherlam
Start	Tilberthwaite Ghyll
Company	Tim, Rachel, Jo, Andrew, Robin
Weather	Very misty the entire time - sadly no views.
Notes	We spent 20 minutes negotiating with the RingGo parking app before setting off and discovering a National Trust car park just round the corner.
