Route Map

Started out fine with the snowline being at 500 metres, however on return the snow had made it down to the valley.

Sadgill Bridge at the start of the walk. Five hours later the valley was completely snowbound.

Looking up the lane from Sadgill, Buckbarrow Crag to the right.

Looking along the valley from Brownhowe Bottom, Sleddale Forest in the distance.

The summit cairn of Branstree, well above the snow line now.
