Great weekend warm up!

Returned late last night after a fantastic C2C warm up.
We tackled the Fairfield Horseshoe on Saturday, bagging 8 Wainwrights in the process, and encountered maximum 30m visibility around the summit due to the low cloud (so much for 80% chance of cloud free summits!).
Sunday was a more leisurely day as the weather changed slightly for the worse so we swapped things over. A gentle potter round Ambleside was followed by a long haul up Red Screes. We were rewarded by the most amazing 360' panorama (and the fully clear of cloud site of Fairfield!).
Monday brought fantastic weather and the tent was down and cleared early and we found a parking space near the pub below Blencathra. A bit of a struggle up the hill on the heat but we made it up to the tarn in good time and stopped for a tea break before proceeding on up Sharp Edge. What an experience! Very glad we didn't attempt it in the wind of Sunday!
We made it to the summit after a couple of interesting points - the rock has worn slippery smooth in a lot of places - but the views were fantastic. We had a leisurely lunch at the summit talking to the least of the group of school kids that had followed us up most of the way and planning which Wainwrights to conquer next.
A lot of those will be in a few weeks time when we're back here for C2C.
Others in the list are too numerous to mention! :-)
