It seemed to nice to miss the good weather so I found time for a quick walk up to Holme Fell this afternoon. It was lovely and warm once more and there were a few people around enjoying the good weather. There are no planes in the sky today due to the Icelandic volcano eruption and therefore no contrails either. There was, however, evidence of cows at this particular summit so it was a pretty odd day all in all!

Reflections in the smaller reservoir. We skirted around this way to try and avoid a large herd of cows!

Looking across the larger reservoir and those are the cows in the foreground, not Casper and Dougal as it appears at first glance! Me and the two 'cow magnets' ended up walking through the middle of the herd anyway. Sorry boys, you are on your own on this section - I don't think we have ever walked so quickly!

Casper and Dougal making sure the mud gets nicely baked on at the top of Holme Fell. Watch it boys, I can definitely hear the scissors being sharpened now.
