After a wet morning the rain stopped so we were able to make a quick(ish) jaunt up Great Mell Fell. The ascent was OK with some good views from the top of various weather conditions on the surrounding fells.
In my infinite wisdom I declared that doing a straight out and back was 'boring' so we made it a bit of a circular that involved a very steep descent on the path to the West of the summit and then a soaking wet return through head high bracken. Didn't see the ponies.
