The Whinlatter fells make an excellent compact walk and the going is pretty easy with it being over mainly grassy sections – with a few boggy bits thrown in for good measure. The higher fells still had their diminishing winter coats on but there was no snow on these lower slopes today.

It started off a bit dull today, here looking at the un-named secondary top of Broom Fell, Widow Hause to the left.

The path to Whinlatter through Aiken Plantation - the trees are growing thick and fast now but a cairn marks the way at the foot of the wall and it is easy enough to follow.

On 18th February, I was going for a wander up to Hard Knott to catch the sunset, however the cloud dropped a bit low for there to be any views from up there. Here is the meeting sun from Border End.

Once back to the road and below the cloud, things started to look a little more promising. Here Fletcher views the long and winding road.
