With the family I had a gorgeous walk in the Lake District going up to Sprinkling Tarn via Seathwaite and then down to Styhead Tarn and a great clamber down Taylor Gill Force which was really wet and slippy . The cloud cover was at 1000 feet so most of the walk was done in visibility of less than 50 meters although the clouds opened up occasionally . The lads went off on their hell bent on doing Sca Fell the highest hill in England so they went up to Styhead Tarn past Sprinkling Tarn and with less than 20 metres visibility Miles navigated them over Great End , called that no doubt because if you fall off it in low visibility conditions it will be a Great End, onto Broad Crag and then Sca Fell . He got lost at one point attempting to find the Corridor Route but only went half a kilometer confirming he was on the wrong path . He always knew the way back to Sca Fell and I was really proud of him navigating his way around some lethal cliffs and confusing slopes! . We met up with an old Asian couple who asked us the way , they had no map , it was poor visibility but they wanted to " Get to the top " so I gave them my map and pointed them in the right direction for the Corridor Route which is the easiest to follow but has some tricky scrambles . I just love Northern Hill fanatics! They've got to do it ! The lads never saw them coming down and I think they gave up because the scrambles are tricky . A Little Grebe was the only bird worthy of note yesterday feeding all on its own on Sty Head tarn . It didn't rain but the low cloud was so wet we got soaked anyway ! Absolutely brilliant and my lovely wife has muscles of iron in those legs of hers although were mutterings of " I'm never doing this again " when she was bum sliding down bits of a waterfall. Cracking day , proud of Miles navigating around new territory in low visibility and a good meal was had at The Loose Box in Keswick which has now after several years has got used to our large hiking order of food ! Oh and Fo and I saw an amazing boulder of lapilli tuff a volcanic gravel with pieces of pumice in it all rough and dynamic because when this loose flying gravel was hurling around at hundreds of miles an hour 420 million years ago out in the open air and got laid down as part of a whole mound of volcanic ash around 300 meters thick it was very hot . A really nice find , well not a find really because I'd walked by the thing several times over the past 30 years but only just realized what it was!
