In reply to ablackett:
Forecast looks much better than last year - much less wet, cold and windy. MWIS reckons the rain will be moving inland by afternoon so the western half should be dryish.
I was planning on wearing shorts, knee warmers, short sleeve jersey with arm warmers and a gilet. I'll also have my thermal headband, shoe covers, full gloves and a decent waterproof. I'm lucky though, I've got someone meeting me at Ennerdale who can bring another layer and dry gloves etc.
