Blawith Knott (OF) from the Woodland Fell road

Weather: Sunny, clear and warm. 13oC.

It was lovely and sunny and very spring-like in south Cumbria this afternoon - far too nice to stay in! We had a quick sprint up to Blawith Knott to get some fresh air and capture some of the lovely views from this relatively lowly fell, which lies on the southern edge of the Lake District.
