pw day 11: mother nature is a tease...

so it turns out that some combination of ibruprofen, a knee support, and it's being a gradual ascent meant that my knee behaved itself today.

what didn't behave itself was the weather. we woke early and got packed up and then the rain started. it didn't really stop so packing down tents we set off into the cloud that was enveloping cross fell. from it's summit you can see both coasts. except in the cloud. in the cloud you see this...

every now and then mother nature would tease us by revealing a snippet of blue sky and giving us shadows!

then it would rain a bit more.

we did get a little sun in the end though. 21 miles later as we headed into alston to pitch up.
