Noeyedeer, myself and our families should have been camping at Sykeside (next to Brotherswater) this week but it was unfit. We drove home through driving rain with wipers on full and the fog lights lit due to the spray. Monday they had two inches or rain, and I doubt it has stopped raining much since.

We had planned to fish Brotherswater, Ullswater, Angle Tarn and Goldrill Beck, which flows into the top of Ullswater. Like MrTrout says, check the weather report and ring the campsite before you set off. If they say, "It's not flooded, but there is some surface water" they mean it's a quagmire.

Oh! it was you was it, has no one ever told you, that's wrong that is, very wrong

Au contraire, old pal. If visibility is down to less than 100m it's recommended.

One of my pet hates is fog lights in good visibility. Soon as I could see 100m+ they were off.

Well done Richard,
I'm very envious of your Angle Tarn pounder. I hope to make that climb one day.
