Although still not fit enough for the higher fells I was getting fed up with no walking so persuaded Edith that this short walk would be ok.

Edith on the Wainwright summit of Hugill Fell. I was saddened to see that the delightful cairn had either toppled over or worse still been pushed over.

Below is how it looked on the 12th January 2008 when I was last here. Hopefully some kind soul will rebuild it before long.

Looking down into Kentmere

Looking across the valley to Brunt Knott
