More perambulations in the Pennines

Into the mist
The North Pennines above Alston and Penrith are one of my favourite places; wild, open and bleak.  Even in terrible weather they have a desolate beauty that thrills.  Yesterday, the views were negligible, the ground was rough but despite the rain and fog, I was still overjoyed to be out there  with Andy, Molly, Robin and Cathryn.  

Minimal views
At Black Fell summit Trig, we saw nothing, but the day still delivered some beautiful moments;  a reflection in a pond, a shaft of sunlight peeping through the clouds on our descent and much laughter and entertaining conversation.  It was a beautiful day.
