Another of my "fell before breakfast" walks while on holiday with my family. I paused to photograph the female Common Blue Damselfly. When I reached the top, a young woman was just finishing packing up her camping gear. We chatted and she kindly took a summit photo of me. This was certainly a fine route and a great viewpoint, especially towards the Langdale Pikes.
