Walk on through the rain

Imagine standing under a cold power shower in front of an open window with a howling gale blowing in , and that's a bit like our walk today.
The plan was to walk another couple of Wainwrights and when we set off it was already raining, and windy.
C and N for some reason declined to join us and very sensibly were planning to go to the mining museum. Smart move.
We got quite a way up towards Hen Comb and the rain was sheeting across the fells horizontally. We finally admitted to ourselves that it wasn't really very pleasant and we actually gave up! I can't remember doing that before!
Our decision was justified we thought when the Fell we were aiming for disappeared behind a huge bank of cloud and mist.
Of course eventually the rain stopped and the sky brightened slightly, I wouldn't say it was sunny exactly. 
Apparently it's been 26c in the south east today the hottest day of the year so far.
