Fab weekend supporting the Rucksack Club’s successful attempt, led by FSS, to visit each of the highest summits in Wainright’s seven guidebooks of the Lakeland Fells. For details of the summits and account of the round see Ian's Blog. For other pics and tall tales visit mine! Out and About
We arrived at the Rucksack Club Hut in the Duddon Valley in glorious sunshine at about 8.30 Friday night.

The Monument from High Moss
As the ‘super’ moon appeared in the sky I managed a rather un-super moon shot. Must learn how to do this properly! But anyway you get the idea, it looked beautiful in reality.
Knott Rigg from Newlands Hause
Leisurely two hour drive on Saturday to get to Buttermere in the afternoon for the first checkpoint where I met fellow Rucksacker and co-supporter Geoff.
It’s a tough call this supporting lark, but someone’s got to do it!
The oaks of Buttermere
High Stile, Sour Milk Ghyll and Red Pike
