Storm Desmond has been causing  lots of trouble in the NW this weekend and Cumbria has been hit hard. There were reports of flooding and roads closed throughout the area. I’d planned a start on some of those Wainwright Outliers but thought I’d better wait and see what this morning brought. The A590 into the southern Lakes was closed, Kendal was in trouble, so I wisely cancelled.

My heart goes out to all those people with flooded houses.
