It is almost becoming a family tradition for us to get up to Gummer’s How during February half term and today it was a good choice as the weather was superb. It was well worth getting out early too, to be first at the top and witness a spectacular inversion over Windermere. Any later and we would have missed it as it was all but gone by 10.

All was shrouded in mist at Newby Bridge and I knew we would get above the cloud on Gummer's How this morning. It was very cold in the shade though, here looking from a frosty start of the walk over Windermere to a sunnier Summer House Knott.
