Decided I needed to get out of the house so took Roo up to the Lakes and got some hills in. Parked up in Wasdale in the car park at the bottom of Yewbarrow, taking the last parking spot. Followed the foot path straight up, with a small diversion where I had to go and find Roo who had decided he needed to find a stream. Nice day with some good views. Continued to the North end of Yewbarrow and followed the scramble down. Had to do another, much longer, diversion to get Roo again. Once back on track, straight up to Black crag and along to the top of Red Pike. Followed the path around to (the other) Black Crag, then doubled back to Little Scoat Fell. Lovely run down the ridge towards Haycock, until I fell over and dropped the lead. Had to do another diversion and considerable amount of extra climb after Roo decided to go exploring. Up to the top of Haycock and then followed the Bridleway down along the edge of Nether Beck. Short sectiojn on the road back to the car. Nice afternoon/ evening on the hills. Legs struggled a little to begin with but seemed to ease into the climbs.
