Is Skiddaw a decent walk?

Heading to Workington Parkrun and looking for something the day before.

I'd say check the weather but Skiddaw probably needs entirely its own forecast.

That second link has reminded me, does anyone know a good Apple app for mountain weather? I can't find the one I used to use (it may have been discontinued). Failing it I might bookmark that link on my phone.

Skiddaw weather forecast:
Cold, windy, probably wet.
Occasionally worse.

Although it's a great day out, eg fetcheveryone.com/t-13751044
