Wansfell

Walked on 10/12/2012

Start point: Troutbeck (NY 409 032)

Troutbeck – Nanny Lane – The Hundreds – Wansfell – Wansfell Pike – Nanny Lane – Troutbeck

Distance: 3.7 miles     Total Ascent: 350 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes     Start Time: 09:50

Weather: Sunny with snow showers. 4ºC

More cold weather today and it was sunny around the fringes of the Lake District but many of the higher tops were shrouded in cloud; cloud that looked heavily snow laden. Even lowly Wansfell had a good few snow flurries blowing across whilst I was up there but in between there were some decent views.

Looking across Ambleside....all was good until I realised I had dropped a glove so made a return to Wansfell summit. Luckily it hadn't blown away, so not too bad.
