Gummer’s How

Walked on 18/02/2009

Start point: Gummer’s How Car Park (SD 390 877)

Gummer’s How Car Park – Gummer’s How (OF) – Gummer’s How Car Park

Distance: 1.2 miles     Total Ascent: 150 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Warmer than of late but overcast. 8°C.

The ‘old’ gang was reformed today when Connie and Angus came with Casper and I for a walk up to Gummer’s How. It was quite warm compared to the last couple of weeks and the snow has receded from most of the higher fells with only a few stubborn patches remaining on the tops. Connie always enjoys this walk and it was good to have Angus with us on the fells once more.

Almost as soon as we set off the mist rose up from Windermere to engulf Gummer's How.

He's back! For one day only - Angus climbs the dizzy heights, just like the days of yore.

Hmm, not sure what is going on here. Casper has spotted something whilst Angus and Connie are giving me the 'hurry up' signal.

There is a clearer view down to Lakeside now the mist has cleared a little.

The head of Windermere - it looks like Bowness and Ambleside are under a blanket of cloud.
