I guess then that my visit today was my first 'true' summit. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=150287852 150287852 Very windy and misty at The Knott. We think wind speed was about 50 mph at this point. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=150287853 150287853 Ron at The Knott. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=150287854 150287854 Forgot to take a picture at Rampsgill Head but to be honest, nothing to see. This was at Kidsty Pike summitt It was taking all I had to stand up against the wind at this point. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=150287855 150287855 Heading down now, and first views we had since starting out on this walk. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=150287856 150287856 https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=150287857 150287857 Looking down across Haweswater from Kidsty Howes. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=150287955 150287955
