The rain finally stopped and the cloud started to lift , so we had a run out to Wasdale. The clouds were still hanging around the top of the fells which gave a very moody atmosphere to the valley. Despite the weather there were a lot of tourist with their tents and campervans with it being a bank holiday in the UK
