The River Rawthey. Setting out from Sedbergh I took the footpath that follows the River Rawthey to Cautley Spout.
Hobdale Beck goes under the bridge I'm stood on and into the Rawthey

In the opposite direction. The forecast has been for things to improve but I wasn't holding out much hope of that happening.

A brief glimpse of hills in the distance. I was in the cloud all the way across the tops until I made the descent of Winder back to Sedbergh.
