Stony Cove Pike - 19 August 2004
In fog and rain, the summit cairn on Stony Cove Pike (763m/2503ft), the summit
of the fell called Caudale Moor by Wainwright
The path descending to Kirkstone Pass, where I was the only person parked in the
car park - the weather was very wet!
Windermere appears out of the fog as we descend The Struggle towards Ambleside

...while to the left the end of the Whinfell-Grayrigg ridge, with the M6 just far
enough away to merge into the background. A lovely way to end the day before our
journey back to London
