First walk of the year…first walk for ages! Great to be back out even though the weather wasn’t really playing today so there are not many photos to speak of. Me and Dougal had a scramble up to Dow Crag via the South Rake, a great way up and this one will be a future walk in Trail magazine.
Dougal at Charmer's Grave - the photo is out of sequence and it's whereabouts remain unrevealed!
Boo Tarn is a bit more visible than the summer version
The Cove, heading for Goat's Water. The sky looks a bit ominous!
Well look at this amazing photo - Dougal has managed to stay still for a whole 1/5 second!

We're going up there...somewhere
