It is always a gamble, when there is low cloud, especially when you are going to get up early for sunrise. Walking past Blea Tarn I was in the dark and in thick fog. Even as I climbed Side Pike the fog was thick and I began to think I would see nothing. Finally, the fog thinned and I was above the clouds. The high fells of the Langdales, Bowfell and Crinkle Crags were above the clouds as the early morning sun shone softly upon them. I descended back into the fog, before re-emerging as I got to the summit of the neighbouring Lingmoor Fell.
