A brisk trip round the Village in the early morning fog, then a walk with B. up Melmerby Fell, also with just enough visibility to navigate safely. Hills and ridges nearby came in and out of view, looking mysterious in the mist, but we did not waste any time admiring the Lake District skyline! Unlike recent walks in this area we visited the actual summit which is south of the impressive stone cairn and shelter. The whole circuit contains not a yard of road so quite demanding, including some pathless moorland.
