Latterbarrow

Walked on 29/10/2008

Start point: Colthouse (SD 360 988)

Latterbarrow (OF) from Colthouse

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 143 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Cold and overcast. 4ºC.

It wasn’t a fantastic day for views or photos, but that is how it is sometimes. The clouds were down and earlier there was heavy snow in Bowness and it could clearly be seen on the high fells. It was certainly wintery on lowly Latterbarrow with a very cold wind, which meant no hanging around as we were trying to dodge the worst of the weather.

The view to the west from the climb to Latterbarrow, the Coniston fells are hidden by cloud. The fleeting views of them we had earlier showed them to have a decent covering of snow today.

The view across Windermere to Wansfell, can you spot the large plane in the centre?

A close up on the snow showers over Coniston. Shortly after this we were caught in a ferocious hailstorm. Run...for coffee and cakes of course!
