Another fine and sunny day! It was even colder than ever in the valley this morning as temperatures struggled to get above zero – once up onto the fells however, it was really quite warm again in the sun. Only Casper for company today; Angus had a day off for a good sleep after the previous few days excursions!

A lovely panorama from Yoke with Black Combe on the distant left, the Coniston fells over to Crinkle Crags and the Scafells with Great Gable and Pillar distant right.

The route of the return leg - Mardale Ill Bell, the Nan Bield Pass and Harter Fell over Kentmere Reservoir.
