WeatherThere was a lot of cloud and we got a bit soggy on top.
NotesAt 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.
