Latterbarrow

Walked on 20/02/2010

Start point: Colthouse (SD 360 988)

Latterbarrow (OF) from Colthouse

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 143 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Cold out of the sun, clear. 1°C

It was another superb morning this morning so Connie and I had a walk to Latterbarrow above Hawkshead. We stopped at a few places on the journey and all the waters were frozen including Windermere which had a good covering of ice. The smaller waters, Esthwaite and Tarn Hows are still completely frozen and the high fells look to have a fresh covering of snow.
