Storm force winds today

After looking through many weather forecasts and hearing much helpful advice from friends and family, I have decided NOT to venture out into the wind and rain today. So far the rain has been torrential and the winds strong, even here in town. Mountain forecasts say the winds are strengthening in the Lakes throughout the day, to a maximum of 100mph gusts and will only drop after 7pm.
My options include a night-time blitz on leg 3 (Threlkeld to Dunmail Raise) tonight or a double-leg tomorrow (30 miles), finishing in Wasdale, so as to keep on schedule....watch this space.

Here are a couple of photos/videos of my time in the Lakes so far:
