Thanks phal. For the time being I've simply downloaded the Met Office app. I actually think the MWIS site is very similar information to the app I had long before my old phone no longer updated, but I think it coincided with whatever app it was being discontinued. MWIS does have an android app and not a iOS app. I'm wondering if it's possibly the same I did use before. I'm not sure it has as many areas on but it has the main ones I'd want anyway and the info is spot on. Thanks jacdaw. |

Skiddaw yesterday evening was beautiful, although obviously windy and cold as always! Ally-C Going up from Latrigg car park gets you straight into the ascent. It's a bit of a slog on a really good path to the summit, but the views across Derwentwater distract you. It's worth a detour to Little Man and Lower Man but I tend to do that on the way back down. |

Some recommended easy listening for people based in the Lakes. lakedistrictradio.org (I'm somewhat biased because one of my friends has the daily 9am-12pm slot.) |

I did have an MWIS app on my iPhone but when I got a new one it wouldn't download as it was no longer in the app store. |

Both?! Park at Latrigg car park, up Skiddaw, across to Mungrisdale and up Blencathra and down Blease Fell. 12 mile circular walk. Did a loop including Blencathra and Mungrisdale Common last Sunday, it was unsuprisingly very wet underfoot!! |

That also makes me think it was that one. When I used it before it wouldn't update, the app was dead handy even if my needs to use it weren't so regular. I've got the page open on my phone instead now. |
