It seemed a long time ago Jamie my brother asked about coming on a day walk with me (Covid seems to have confused time ) it was 3 yrs ago and now we were doing this trip and he was completing his Wainwright round of 214 peaks  After our trip too Norway I said to Jamie if we got a good wknd he should use it to complete,last wknd was that wknd,the weather was great but another low was coming in on the Sunday Autumn colours were in effect as we shouldered packs and headed upwards,into the Northern fells  The good weather had many folk out,as we climbed in the warm sun,stopping to soak up the views as we did so  First I lead him upto see Scales tarn and it’s Sharp edge.We ate lunch as a few mad folk went for a swim and folk started to cross Sharp edge,but first we had No 213 to tick off  And there was 213 in the afternoon sunshine …….Mungrisdale common ….. a rather wet walk out,but we left the cold shade for the sunshine  We followed a stream upwards,towards the summit,filling up with camp
