Route Map
It was lovely and sunny again this
morning after a mixed weekend which once again saw snow fall on the high
fells. Latterbarrow, above Hawkshead, gives great panoramic views in
such clear conditions and makes an ideal walk for children.
Admiring the view on the way up.
We're going to reach the top before
you!
