Drove up to the Lakes for the day with the intention of doing a circuit of the Old Man. The weather was dry, but a bit windy and there was low cloud. We walked up from Coniston, and it wasn't too bad up to Low Water. After that, the wind picked up and by the time we got to the top, it was blowing hard.
The original plan had been to descend via Goat's Water, but as we dropped down that side, the wind was blowing us off the hillside. After a few minutes, common sense prevailed and we headed back up, to descend the way we came.
(Technical Data: distance = 10.5km, ascent = 1000m)
