Blawith Knott (OF) from the Woodland Fell road
Start Time: 13:30 Weather: Icy, strong wind. 4°C
Just time to blow away the cobwebs from the Christmas excess today and kick off 2012 with a short walk up to Blawith Knott. The wind was very strong even at this modest height and had a real icy feel to it – not a time to hang around for sure.
Race you!
