Not Hiking to High Stile

Our planned circuit hike up High Stile was scrapped in the face of hopelessly foul conditions.  The wind blew fiercely and ruthlessly all day, making a climb to the summits out of the question; and a steady drizzle/downpour made even a modest lowlands walk too much of a challenge.  By midafternoon we were comfortably back in our room, warming up and anticipating dinner.

We arrived at Bridge Hotel about 6:30, and found both dining areas overjammed.  Neither place had a signup sheet, so it was necessary to hover in the crowd, watching for signs of a table about to be vacated.  Happily we found a space in fairly short order, and enjoyed another fine pub meal.
