Winter seems to have returned once more and there is snow on the high fells, in fact it was snowing when I set off for Orrest Head at lunchtime and the wind made it feel really cold. No hanging around for me and the boy wonder then, so it was straight up and down today.
Snow on the Coniston fells and a very brief spell of sunshine over Windermere from the Windermere Hotel.
The far eastern fells from the summit viewpoint indicator on Orrest Head.
The Langdale Pikes and the head of Windermere.
The view to the south over Bowness and along Windermere.
Caudale Moor and the Ill Bell ridge.
Red Screes peering over the top of Wansfell.
Blimey, I thought that was old Wainwright himself looking out from his first fell!
Windswept Casper.
The view indicator has been replaced since I was last here at Christmas. 'Lake Windermere'? I thought it was just called Windermere!
School Knott across the busy A591.
Sunshine on The Howgills.
