It was a misty start to the day, but we took a nice little route from the Grasmere youth hostel, up onto the low ridge above the Langdale valley, following Silver How all the way up to Sergeant Man. It was actually a rather pleasant day after we walked above the cloud line. Then we had uninterrupted sunshine and a beautiful blanket of cloud all below us while enjoying some late morning snacks at the top. From here we walked across High Raise and over Greenup Edge but descending down the Wythburn route by mistake. We eventually had to do a big job in locating something looking like a path, but not very successfully finding one! So it was very wet underfoot as a result and somewhat an adventure too, leaving us with only a very short time to spare before catching the bus to the train station for my sister to catch home. I was staying up in the Lakes for another day though.
