Wanted to get out for a few hours very steady today but that didn't work out. I was in Kendal first thing so decide to head to Sedbergh rather than turn back to the lakes. The temperature was hovering around zero and light winds. I was optimistic of a good day. However the summits were all in cloud and once I gained some height the wind started to blow. Things were rather unpleasant so I cut my run short.
I climbed up the path between Winder and Crook. Bypassed Arant Haw and headed up Calders. It was here things turned turned nasty.
Calders summit.
So decided to dash to Calf and then return. Visibility was about 50m but I manage to find the trod back under Calders, it is straight into the wind and the snow is wet.
Calf summit.
I return via Arant Haw and Winder. Then take the longer descent (west) rather than head straight (quad killing) down. It has warmed up to 5 degrees and nice to be out of the wind.

Winder.
So not exactly what I wanted but good to be out for a couple of hours.
