Little Sca Fell and Brae Fell

The plan today was a decent walk in the Uldale Fells. Being anti-social we were keen to avoid other people and it's the time of year that brings a lot of them out on the fells. So Back o' Skiddaw is a good place to go if you don't want to see anyone. So, we parked at Longlands.........
 
 
When I said I didn't want to see anyone, low cloud wasn't quite what I had in mind. Never mind the forecast says it won't last long.


Breeze couldn't care less what the weather is doing

After a while, we decided that it was pointless doing our original route. The weather was not improving and visibility was nearly zero. So when we got to Little Sca Fell, we turned left and headed to Brae Fell (seen here!) and then made our way off the side to join the track we had started on. Navigating by map and compass/GPS as you couldn't see where you were going.
Never mind we desperately need rain and it wasn't cold. Not the most scenic 6.5 miles, but we'd sooner be here in the rain than anywhere else in the sunshine! And of course, no rain fell at home!
