Sty Head

Tuesday, 12th July

I wanted to take Francis somewhere where he could see the high fells without having to climb them and Sty Head is very good for this. It was a boiling hot day - one of the hottest so far this year I think, and we made very slow progress up the first part of the climb. Once we reached the plateau however, we found that a delicious breeze was funnelling down the valley. By the time we reached the tarn it had started to cloud over and we wondered if it might rain. I took Francis to the top of the Wasdale Head path and he enjoyed seeing the valley below.
