INDY SAYS: So nice to have a stretch after 6 hours+ in the car

As usual we stop off in Latrigg at the end of a long journey before going to our accommodation. The climb is straightforward and it makes a very welcome break

We tend not to count Latrigg, which is a little unfair.
When you've been cooped up in the car for 6 or 7 hours, it's a great fell to get out on and run up.

Indy, 2 mins after leaving the car. Come on!

After Latrigg, cutting across to the right side of the base of Skiddaw to Whit Beck for a drink and a cool off

We go for a wander, and catch some nice sunlight pics

Maybe Latrigg is not a massive fell, but it is much appreciated
