A rather dreary day to say the least, but better in the Lakes than it was on the East side of the country. Not a whole lot of photo opportunities to begin with as mist and low cloud were the order of the day.
As the hours ticked by and I got further into the walk the clouds lifted a little to reveal some of the surrounding landscape and the route that I had already taken. At one point I even caught a glimpse of some blue sky and a shaft of sunlight.
I think I'll need to revisit some of these hills in the future as I probably missed out on what they have to offer in good weather.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
