Miserable Buttermere!
I nearly gave up at this point, (mid morning) It was turning thoroughly wet and still windy. Here, the looming mass of Fleetwith Pike just visible through the rain, makes the picture for me.
It was miserable trying to photograph in, as the rain was continually blown into the lens, especially difficult for long exposures like this one.
However, I'm glad I stayed on, as the waterspouts grew during the afternoon. The worst of the wet allowed a break for a soggy lunch anyway, though removing sandwiches from a plastic bag, whilst holding onto the tripod in winds gusting 60mph, wasn't a mean feat!
