Route Map
The snow has virtually disappeared and
the blue skies of last week have gone again. The warm front brought with
it rain and general dreariness - not wonderful conditions for a walk,
but at least we got some fresh air for our walk up to the central band
of fells along the High Tove - Ullscarf ridge. These fells are renowned
for their wetness and general bogginess at the best of times, so you can
imagine what conditions were like today!
Great Dodd, Watson's Dodd and Stybarrow Dodd across
Thirlmere from the climb up to High Tove.
Great Dodd.
It may be raining, but it's still icy cold up here.
Looking back to the Dodd's again from further up the
climb.
Browncove Crags on the side of Helvellyn shows above
the low lying clouds.
A damp Angus has a lie down on High Tove.

A distant Causey Pike appears from the mist with
Catbells right of centre.
Looking into Langstrath.
High Seat and High Tove from Middle Crag. I managed to
walk past this first time and had to double back!
It's a bit damp on Shivery Knott now Angus!
Still on Shivery Knott, looking north east at the
clouds advancing on us. It was heavy rain from now on.
Fisher Crag.
