Heading towards Kinder Reservoir its already looking likely that we wont be seeing very far today.

Kinder Reservoir

Approaching William Clough

Following the stream. Plenty of rock hopping here.

Looking back through William Clough

A slightly different way up William Clough today. We came off the path and went straight up through the middle where it splits

Joining the Pennine Way and heading into the clouds. Visibility is about to become very poor

After following the Pennine way we arrived at Kinder Downfall. I was barely able to see it. We pressed on and stopped for lunch as we neared Kinder Low. We wedged ourselves in the rocks for protection from the wind but it wasn't long before we started to feel the cold and had to get moving again.
