Skiddaw House

After getting our van's exhaust replaced in Penrith this morning, we found ourselves with a free afternoon. As it was grey & overcast, we walked up the valley to Skiddaw Hpuse. I do like this walk as it is off the beaten track with just a few cyclists screaming past. Lots of the lovely yellow mountain flowe: Tormentil in evidence - thanks for the introduction Jules Barrett.  At the top of the valley there was plenty of Cotton Grass.  Skiddaw House is the highest Youth Hostel in England.
