A Moody Wasdale Valley. The Lake District

We went to Wastwater with the aim of climbing up Scafell Pike, once we got into the Wasdale valley we soon realised that it may be a bit pointless climbing high as the view would be very limited and probably just clouds.

We headed up past Wastwater to the Wasdale Head Inn. On the road up to the pub, I jumped out to get a photo in the valley. The clouds were hanging low in the sky. The rain has given the road a light coating which gave off some reflections. It was one of those days that aren’t that great at the time, but when you look back you realise the views were still pretty great. Even though they weren’t what was planned
