Forecast was for showers but I was delighted to have 10 walkers for my walk yesterday. We all enjoyed a short sharp climb from Rosthwaite into Johnny's Wood which is full of mossy oaks above a carpet of grass and bracken. Branches overhead sheltered us from the worst of the showers which seemed to have gone by the time we emerged from the shelter of the trees to climb the grassy path through the bracken to the summit of High Doat above Seatoller. A lowly 283m high this is a superb viewpoint. Even today there were glimpses of Great Gable and Great End as well as a super view up Coombe Gill to Glaramara.

As showers continued to scud across we crossed to the Allerdale Ramble and walked down Borrowdale towards Castle Crag where we lunched in the shelter of a dry stone wall. Just 6 joined me in the ascent of Castle Crag on rather damp rock. After enjoying the superb views from the summit we descended to meet the others and return to Rosthwaite in perfect time for the 3pm bus back to Keswick
