Red Tarn looked more like Satan's Cauldron mid afternoon.Wet, slippy rocks, swirling mist and high winds.
So I didn't get to the top of Helvellyn, surprisingly enough. Well, I didn't fancy going down the quick way, or making a speedy to Carlisle General in a shiny helicopter.
Disappointed, but then I don't think it's going anywhere, so there'll be another chance.
