Route Map

Believe it or not, it's not always good weather in the Lake District! Today was one of those days where the mist and murk hung low on the fells and this short walk started and finished in those conditions, so no views today. There was, however, a little celebration at the top of The Old Man today...

A brief glimmer of hope as the mist lifted to give a glimpse of Torver Common below.

At least we are on our own up here today Angus - normally this summit is busy!

Happy Birthday Angus - 10 today!

The descent was treacherous on the snowy, icy paths.

A ghostly, half frozen Low Water.

Looking a bit damp now.

Waterfall on Big Hill.
