From Patterdale again. Almost the same weather as last time. Foggy, wet, drizzle, windy, and very slippy. Striding Edge was very busy and we had to queue in places. Sadly, someone fell off the ridge and died. We were following mountain rescue across the ridge before ascending to the summit. We also passed two mountain bikers who later came off and injured themselves requiring mountain rescue. The cloud lifted for a moment on Swirral Edge as we descended giving us some nice views. A day saddened by tragedy.
