There is something about watching a winter sunset from the fells that is very appealing and, I reckon, one of the finest things you can see from up on high. I did have the choice of going out in the beautiful clear sunshine of the day but decided to leave a walk until later and grab the sunset view. Of course I ended up leaving it all a little close for comfort and it ended up being a bit of a race to the top.
Once up there, all was silent and there wasn’t even a breath of wind, my fingers and face were numb with the cold and the beautiful final embers of sunlight made the icy ground glow. Magnificent.

The sun is low in the sky looking from the top of Wrynose Pass, Harter Fell and Hard Knott are the distant silhouettes. I am heading for Hard Knott but will I make it in time before the sunset?

I opted to head for the western side of Border End rather than going for Hard Knott - Casper and Dougal seem to know the way.

The view to Bowfell, Crinkle Crags and Little Stand from the crossing to have a peek into Upper Eskdale.
