The Dodds
I think me and Casper were both chomping at the bit to get back on the fells today even though the weather seemed a bit murky. The climb to Sticks Pass gave a fleeting hope of a temperature inversion but the wind higher up ended that notion and the higher tops were walked coldly in the freezing fog.
Cartmel Fell
I had a short walk this afternoon with a relatively easy, if muddy, climb to Cartmel Fell and a visit to a couple of tarns in this largely ignored corner of the lakes. Its position off the beaten track means that it takes a determined effort to get to and that it remains a largely peaceful area – I can hardly believe it is over 4 years since I was last up there.

Walney Island
Last Sunday we were in the snow at Tarn Hows, this Sunday was a complete change in the weather. As if to mark the beginning of British Summer Time, the sun shone and it was a beautiful day for our walk around the southern end of Walney Island adjacent to Barrow-in-Furness.
Mosedale Horseshoe
It was fantastically clear today with views for miles and miles. Certainly this is one of my favourite walks, it being quite arduous and rough at all times. Coupled with a visit to Pillar, my absolute favourite fell it made for a great day out on the high fells.

East of Coniston
It was amazingly clear and sunny today, too good to resist getting out for a short walk even though time was getting on. There are great views from the East of Coniston which are much underrated – Brock Barrow was relegated to ‘a nameless summit 748’ by Wainwright, but surely with its magnificent ancient cairn and great views it deserves better than that?
