HIgh Rigg

Walked on 20/11/2010

Start point: The Church of St.John’s in the Vale (NY 306 225)

High Rigg  from The Church of St.John’s in the Vale

Weather: Clear and cold. 0C

It looked as though we would be in for a lovely morning when I set off early for our Love the Lakes shop in Keswick and the first few photos show some of the views on the journey. It was looking so good, I may never have got there at all if I stopped at all the viewpoints along the way but there was time for a quick sprint up to the top of High Rigg. This must rank as one of the best commutes possible, a pleasure all the way!
