February 5, 2024,Lake District: Wray Castle, Latterbarrow & Claife Heights loop 2024/9

It was very stormy tonight, even in the lowlands, so we didn't want to go high today. When planning my tour at home, I focused more on promising mountain tours, which is why I chose one of Komoot's “Top 20 Tours in the Lake District”, which I bitterly regretted.
