I didn't think I'd get away from the Lakes this morning. Did Dodd and Castle Crag yesterday and made it down just in time to avoid being up top when it started. Wind sounded like a steam train at times last night as it howled through the woodland where I was staying.
A road was already closed (UU) where I was and when I was leaving this morning, another road out was impassable. Had to do single-tracks to get to a main road. Debris everywhere, rivers crossing roads, trees down, water halfway up the tyres etc. The M6 was horrible too. White knuckle all the way home.
