| Hen Comb (1670') |
Breakfast at the cafe and then to
Loweswater and up the slopes of Hen Comb. I went half-way while Andrew reached
the top to include it in his 214. On the descent I surprised myself by
fearlessly crossing the stepping stones over the beck without slipping!

It was warm, even with hardly any sun; but after eating lunch at the car it grew
cooler.

| Darling Fell (left) and Low Fell (1352') |
On then to
Thackthwaite, and up the winding drove road to Low Fell. An easy gradient, but
it felt like a slog, so I remained at the first zig-zag while Andrew carried
on. I noticed a path, very likely a sheep trod, which contoured over to the
base of Fellbarrow. I took it, finding it easy going (the sheep aren't stupid!) to
await Andrew just below Fellbarrow and we continued together to the summit.
Only two more to go now!

| Summit of Fellbarrow |
We must set off
tomorrow so Andrew can climb Raven Crag above Thirlmere and then Walla Crag
above Derwentwater to complete his Wainwrights!
