12 Sep - Cat Bells (1451') and Skiddaw Little Man (2838'). After an Expedition Medicine course in the Lakes, I had a free afternoon and the weather was cloudy/bright but the clouds were fairly high. I first climbed Cat Bells (1451') from the north - a nice ridge walk with fairly extensive views (top) - then as the cloud appeared to be lifting I headed for Skiddaw. I set off up the tourist path but after I got to Little Man (2838'), with views of the summit, cloud and drizzle rolled in from the east (middle) and gave some dramatic backlit effects as it swirled over the ridge with the low sun behind it to the west (lower). I headed down as the light began to fade.
