North Barrule

A wet mountain walk
 
Tuesday, 8th May 2012
 
    Yesterday was too windy to venture up in the hills so we walked this morning. 
 

    We made the mistake of trusting the weather forecasters who promised us "Sunny intervals isolated showers".  But the North Barrule curse struck again.  It was dry when we started . . . and when we finished . . . and for a short time when we stopped on the summit.  But apart from that we seemed to walk through a permanent shower, with periods of fog just to add variety.  The sunny intervals didn't materialise once.  Dorothy used the remains of an old pac-a-mac in a vain attempt to keep her jeans dry!



    It wasn't a good morning for photography but I took a few photos from the summit.
