I went fellwalking with the usual suspects today. From Watendlath, south along the ridge to the Grasmere end, turning back north at Greenup Edge and going down past Lining Crag.

The terrain on top was extremely boggy with meltwater from the thawed snow and ice, and the pools of water were extremely cold as I can testify from having got a bootful.
