The sun and blue sky made a welcome appearance this morning for a lovely warm walk for the time of year. I made an unusual route of return via the quiet but delightful Low Tarn. It was lovely up there today, a really idyllic place – I think I’ll have to return in summer for a swim.

Middle Fell and Seatallan from higher up. The eventual route of descent was alongside the far wall down to Overbeck.

Haycock with Low Tarn below. It looked so inviting over there I though I would make my return by it in the sunshine today.
