The meet was based at Turner Hall farm campsite which was a pleasant basic site in beautiful surroundings. Duddondale in its lower reaches is pleasantly pastoral and with natural woodlands by the campite. There are a number of climbing crags in the valley but heavy rain on Friday night and grey clouds on Saturday morning set our thoughts to walking.
Me, Jago, Colin and Bev decided on a walk up Harter Fell while Dave and Steven set out up the Walna Scar road to Dow Crag.
We approached Harter Fell by the path under Wallowbarrow Crag then on towards Grassguards. Above Grassguards the path is rough and boggy and is not very pleasant to walk until it breaks out of the woods on the flanks of the fell.

Meanwhile Dave and Steven reached Dow Crag summit where they parted company; Dave returning by the approach path while Steven continued to the summit of Coniston Old Man.
On Sunday rain and grey clouds send everyone scuttling home.
