A camp on Red screes summit with my brother Ross .May 2019


 The night before i had been with some friends up on Wetherlam saying our goodbyes to a friend who had sadly passed,after a breakfast in her and mine favorite Coniston cafe Meadowdore,i said my goodbyes to them



I drove up and over to Hawkshead and met some of my family at Wray castle,from there i went with one of my brothers over to Ambelside 



Ross moved away many years ago and is now in Vancovour,it being two years since he had been home it was good to be out together on the hills i love 




It was only a short outing,we strolled up Scandale to the pass and then up onto Red screes summit,pitching in a spot ive used a few times ...last time had been with Geoff on a very wet outing !


All the lakes is very dry at this time but i was still surprised how dry the tarn was on the summit,id already hunted out and collected our camp water 






















 The views were great and vast in nearly all directions as we chatted the late afternoon away 













I brought with me the MLD Trailstar for him to sleep in and i slept in my Duomid again 












Sadly for the 2nd night we didnt get much of a sunset but got some nice after light 






















Id carried up some drink so we had that while chatting away and heating up water for tea,the wind still had a little bite but it was dry allowing us to sit out in the lee of my Duomid 



The next morning was full of the sounds of sky larks as we walked back down to the pass then across and up to High pike continuing over Low pike on our way back down to the car again 





A nice catch up just before he flew off for 2 weeks in Norway,taking my Trailstar with him.I will see him again for a week in 2 weeks time
This post and the video are more for mine and his memories than anything else
