Route Map
It wasn't a fantastic day for views or
photos, but that is how it is sometimes. The clouds were down and
earlier there was heavy snow in Bowness and it could clearly be seen on
the high fells. It was certainly wintery on lowly Latterbarrow with a
very cold wind, which meant no hanging around as we were trying to dodge
the worst of the weather.
Black Fell under cloud from the
start of the climb.
The view to the west from the climb to Latterbarrow,
the Coniston fells are hidden by cloud. The fleeting views of them we
had earlier showed them to have a decent covering of snow today.
Connie and Casper at the impressive obelisk on the top
of Latterbarrow.
The view across Windermere to Wansfell, can you spot
the large plane in the centre?
Casper eyes up the colourful trees to the south-east.
Connie shows off her new High School Musical top!
Casperoonals.
Ambleside and the Fairfield group.
All quiet on the summit of Latterbarrow.
Autumnal view across Hawkshead.
A close up on the snow showers over Coniston. Shortly
after this we were caught in a ferocious hailstorm. Run...for coffee and
cakes of course!
