[with] On my own [weather] Sunny to start with but ended up with mist & hailstone on Nether Wasdale Common - Although I am always prepared for a change in the weather being alone on the moor in mist & hailstone was a bit scary & the appearance of the summit cairn was a welcome relief.

The steep climb onto the ridge of Seatallan not so but reward was the view from the top. Especially westward towards the Irish Sea. The Isle of Man was clear as a bell & almost seemed to be floating off the West Cumbrian coast.
