First day in the lakes and a walk up the local mountain - the Old Man. Weather was perfect, possibly even a bit too warm!
The views were a little hazy though.

Low Water

The tarn is at about 560 metres, so I've already ascended more than 500 metres (but the toughest part is about to start)

The path from Low Water

It's a steep zig-zag path from Low Water up to the summit of the Old Man. Levers Water is just in sight as well
