Route Map
On this, the shortest day of the year, it
was surprisingly mild at a heady 9C. Normally we would be in the depths
of winter and have a bit of snow around. Of course it is still there on
the higher tops, it was just that I couldn't see it today. There were
some interesting conditions to be observed from lowly Latterbarrow
though with the low lying mist hanging in the valleys and across
Windermere.
This view across Windermere from Hammar Bank caught my
eye, the only clear place I had seen all morning...looks like a good bet
for a walk across there today...
Looking across Outgate to Black Fell.
The obelisk atop Latterbarrow.
Low lying mist all around, here looking towards
Loughrigg.
A wider, panoramic view.
Casper gets in a spin.
It's other worldly down there.
Looking across Windermere to Wansfell, Low Wood Hotel
prominent across the mere.
Snakes in the grass - Casper looks at Dougal who is
caught in the crosshairs.
Misty trees.
A wider view.
Blelham Tarn below from the descent.
Working out the best way down.
The view to the south from the ferry across Windermere,
heading back to Bowness.
