A cold Winter's day walk in Lakeland 

Yewtree tarn, Holme fell, Black crag 

& Tarn Hows 8miles 2000ft

Setting off to climb Holme fell from the layby at Yew Tree tarn on the Ambleside to Coniston road.

The path does a half circuit of the tarn....

....before starting the climb with a view back to the snow covered tarn 

....Arriving at the summit of Holme fell 1040ft....

...with some good views including 

Fairfield with a little summit snow....

....Coniston Water and the village

....and the way ahead towards Black crag

I passed by High Arnside on the way before....

....arriving at Black Crag summit 1017ft with 

Tarn Hows & Coniston Water again on the horizon....

....and Ambleside and lake Windermere behind

Zooming in on Tarn Hows where I was heading next....

....but first a couple more photos of the views like this one of Crinkle Crags and Bowfell...

....and the Langdale pikes with Lingmoor fell in the foreground

I soon arrived at Tarn Hows looking like I'd never seen it before....

....frozen from end to end with a covering of snow.....

....with a little snow on Wetherlam behind

I left Tarn Hows descending the path down 

Glen Mary Gill

passing Glen Mary waterfall on the way....

....back to the car alongside the still frozen 

Yew Tree Tarn

This was lovely winter's day's walk provided you are well prepared with plenty of warm clothing.
