Anniversary walk

Of the 7 years we've celebrated our wedding anniversary, we've walked up Skiddaw on 4 of them. Mainly as it's usually very close to the August Bank Holiday and we want to minimise our driving.

Today we'd intended to walk a couple of the smaller fells round the back of Skiddaw, but as we drove past, the weather looked so good, we parked up and walked Ullock Pike, Long Side, Carl Side, Skiddaw, Broad End and Bakestall.

Main photo taken near the summit of Skiddaw, having just climbed the steep scree-slope from Carl Side (left of photo) - the lady walking down gives an indication of the steepness. The central ridge in the photo is Long Side and Ullock Pike.
