Glorious sunshine and blue skies loomed on the horizon over the lower fells in the western Lakes last Saturday as I arrived in Buttermere on the honister rambler. I had been thinking of the high stile ridge but with some intermittent clouds over the summit I opted for the lower fells in this instance. I had climbed Mellbreak before from Buttermere but had returned to Buttermere on that day. Last week-end I opted for an A to B walk from Buttermere to Low Lorton taking in low fell later that afternoon. Low fell report to follow. Total distance was 22.5 km.
