18/06/2004 - Haycock and Seatallan with Paul D.

The Lake District Mountains

After a night at the Wasdale Head Inn we were faced with another early morning downpour but fortunately things brightened up as the day progressed. We started from Greendale and followed the path along Greendale Gill towards the tarn. From the tarn we climbed towards Haycock via Pots of Ashness and approached the summit up the steep western flanks of the fell. As we dropped down from Haycock the sun was still shining, as can be seen from the photograph, but as we approached Seatallan harsh weather rushed in behind us. The climb up Seatallan was accompanied by howling wind and lashing rain. We were grateful that the weather eased at the summit and began improving considerably as we descended.
