Kevin Foster summited on August 20th, 2018 [from/via/route] Little Dun Fell [with] Henry. [weather] cloudy with rain. - Despite the low cloud & misty conditions route finding was simple with the unmistakable flagstoned path of the Pennine Way to follow. The mist must have been pretty thick because the massive domes of the radar station that dominate the summit of Great Dun Fell did not appear until I was almost upon them.
