We planned to walk up Dale Head and onto Robinson today, but the clouds had other ideas!
We parked at Little Town and made our way up the miners trod. This is really familiar territory, but somewhere we havent been for a good few years. It's new ground for Jay and Breeze. Lots of Herdy ewes and Lambs about today, so Breeze was on the lead most of the time, a very rare occurrence and it explains why she doesn't feature in many moving pictures. But I made up for it with portrait shots!

| In theory we are heading up into that cloud on Dale Head, but we have a few plan B's in case the cloud doesn't lift |

Hello
 |
 |
| Sheepfold below Red Crag |
 |
| As we head up Miner's Crag towards Dale Head Tarn it isn't looking too promising for the cloud to clear |
 |
| No lambs here at Dale Head Tarn, so Breeze has chance for a hooley |
 |
| We stop for lunch near the Tarn and discuss which way to go next |
 |
| Still plenty of cloud on the higher tops so we decide on a left turn instead of a right turn and head onto High Spy |
 |
Looking back at Dale Head Tarn from the short climb up to High Spy, we went over the High Spy, Maiden Moor ridge with a small group of people ahead (Few photos cause I hate getting random people in photos!)
 |
Derwent Water with Catbells up ahead - Keswicks own motorway can clearly be seen over the top - needless to say we won't be going that way today, far too many people for our liking!
|
|
 |
| So we sit down on the Heather for a while to let them get ahead out of our way. A perfect opportunity for a few Breezy Portraits! |

Nearly back at the car

7.6 miles, and a great walk. A shame the cloud stayed down and made us change our route, but we can come back another time.
