There could be a number of duplicate blogs as the signal here is intermitent and I may have sent messages twice or more.

In the distance you can see Helvellyn. Down to Patterdale and then up to The Knott.
It is not raining!

No phone signals – Wednesday

So not many blogs today as there ia no phone service along this part of the route.
Had a great walk along the Ennerdale Valley in near perfect weather, although we could see heavy cloud around us. Lunch was outside Black Sail YH but as we finished and set off to climg up and out of the valley it started to rain.

So I am writing this sitting in the Skyline cafe at the slate mine drinking a mug of tea a welcome break (in the dry) before pushing onto the B&B.
