There has been plenty of rain around over the last week or so but the Lake District has escaped the severe flooding that other parts of the country have been unfortunate enough to endure. It almost seemed impossible that we could get some dry weather at last after it rained relentlessly all day yesterday but here we have it – a rare dry day! The tops of the highest fells have a covering of snow and the wind up on top was pretty cold today.

An interesting and different route to Brock Barrow following an old quarry track, the zig-zags of which can be seen quite clearly.

Looking across the Duddon Valley from the ruined quarry buildings to The Pike and Hesk Fell, Whitfell beyond.
