Setting off with a view over the Wyre valley to Grit Fell |
 |
As height is gained Morecambe Bay and Black Coombe come into theview |
 |
| A little higher and the snow-capped Lake District fells appear - but alas, this is the highest point gained today, ie just below the ridge of Hawthornthwaite fell. In an air temperature of -6 and average wind of 15mph in my face it was just too cold to continue safely any higher (ie wind chill approx -16c) |
 |
| So after descending to a warmer climate ie -6c, I joined the River Wyre Way.... |
 |
| ....passing cliffs of icicles |
 |
| ....and again |
 |
| Abbeystead House, belonging to the Duke of Westminster, stands proudly above the north bank of the River Wyre just outside Abbeystead village. |
 |
| Further downstream is the dam and weir |
 |
| ....and again |
 |
| Sunshine reflecting on the lake behind the dam |
 |
| Finally passing the 'Shepherds Church' on the way back to the car. Altogether an excellent alternative to a day's fell walking! |
