University mountaineering club meet, staying at the hut opposite the Coppermines youth hostel. I opted for a hike by myself since being typical students, the rest of the club had had a late night on the alcohol and as a result were still in bed at 10am. So I took the route up Wetherlam and followed the natural line of the ridge round to Swirl How, and then toward the Old Man of Coniston. It made for a rough day out on the fells with low cloud, high wind and generally not much to see in the way of views. It was quite a relief to get back into the hut again afterwards!
