Coniston Water from the summit of the Wanla Scar Road
After a fair amount of walking I reached the sumit of the Wanla Scar Road, and the turnoff for Brown Pike which would take me up to Dow Crag.
Or at least that was the plan. In reality when I reached the summit I was hit by winds from the other side of the pass that were so strong that I was almost blown over.
Knowing that if I went up towards Dow Crag, I'd probably be hit by this wind all the way which wouldn't be particularly safe to walk in, I reluctantly abandoned my plans for Dow Crag and headed back down the Wanla Scar Pass to Cove Bridge once more.
