Gosh this shot brings back some awful memories. In the late 1950s I and a friend climbed Blencathra. On beginning the way down thick mist came, we carried on for a while until we found we could barely see in front of our face. We sat down and waited hoping it would clear. It did after about an hour and then found we were about two yards from a sheer drop. We learned a lesson there!
