Route Map

It was another grey day today though not nearly so cold as there was little wind. We had a quick jaunt up to Silver How from Grasmere and even this normally popular fell was quiet today - there was no one around up there.

These two have found a solitary patch of snow to play on - Dougal watches as his piece of snow gets away from him!
