EXTREME winter conditions on HIGH STREET / S2-Ep5 Hiking the Wainwrights

Hiking the Wainwrights - Season 2: Far Eastern Fells - Episode 5. High Street, The Lake District

Finally I'm faced with a proper weather day! The long run of perfect calm days might have come to an end. Not great for the views or flying a drone but my goodness it's so good for the soul!

Grab a brew (maybe a hot water bottle too) and settle down to watch this mountain fool get battered by some of the most extreme weather I've ever encountered.
