Start point: Woodland Fell road (SD 256 879)

Blawith Knott (OF) from the Woodland Fell road

Start Time: 13:30     Weather: Icy, strong wind. 4oC

Just time to blow away the cobwebs from the Christmas excess today and kick off 2012 with a short walk up to Blawith Knott. The wind was very strong even at this modest height and had a real icy feel to it - not a time to hang around for sure.

Race you!

Dull over the Coniston fells with snow laden clouds looming over them.

How windy? How cold? If I were you Dougal, I would stay right there behind Casper.

Black Combe.

Drama over the Duddon Estuary.

The Old Man with a fresh dusting of snow.

The charge of the Dougal brigade, looking to Beacon Fell. The eastern fells beyond have snow on them as did Scafell when it showed briefly.

Fast moving sky.
