The day I was there, in 1999, it was incredibly hot. My son and I had walked up from the Seathwaite side as my wife drove round to visit my aunt who lived in Drigg and then we all met in Wasdale Head.

It's a tough climb up Gable from Wasdale, only tried it once which was enough! OK going down that way though!
