The night was calm and mistly clear but by morning the cloud had rolled in. At 5am I could just see Ennerdale below then a light patter of rain started to fall. My plan was to walk and climb the short distance to Kirk Fell but I didn't see the point in doing it in the rain. The weather forecast was inconclusive so I decided to wait it out for a while and hoped the cloud would roll away. It didn't and got thicker and the rain got heavier. All day I kept thinking it may stop in the next hour, but it didn't. So one more night in the same spot.
