28/08/2019 - Burnbank Fell, Blake Fell and Gavel Fell. We started from near Maggie's Bridge with reasonable weather but by the time we got to to the summit of Burnbank Fell there was extensive low cloud and rain. From here there were no views in any direction during the rest of the walk. When we reached Gavel Fell there was a substantial wind blowing and and heavy rain. We had intended to continue to Hen Comb but decided to cut the walk short and head back to the start of the walk, following the fence that meets the main path above Whiteoak Beck. |

Cold, wet and nothing to see

And the wind is blowing
