With a forecast of gale force winds, blizzard conditions and wind chill of -18c for the high summits, today was definitely a day to stay on the lower slopes.
 |
| Climbing out of Ambleside with snow covering the fells of the Fairfield Horseshoe |
 |
| A brief moment of sun on the Langdale Pikes |
 |
| Dramatic cloud breaks with the sun breaking through... |
 |
| ...and again |
 |
| Windermere from the summit of Wansfell Pike 482m, 1581ft |
 |
| A light covering of snow here but a fierce cold wind |
 |
| Descending from the cold... |
 |
| ... towards the village of Troutbeck |
 |
| Some of the sheep brought down off the high fells |
 |
| The little-visited but beautiful Middlerigg Tarn |
 |
| Adventure in the treetops at the Lakeland Visitor Centre on Windermere |
 |
| Looking to Bowfell and the Langdales from the lakeside.... |
 |
| ....and south into the sun |
 |
| A short climb to Jenkin Crag for a view of the Coniston fells... |
 |
| ...and Crinkle Crags in the Langdale valley.... |
 |
..then a short descent back into Ambleside.
