Set off from Honister Pass just after 8.00 am. Walked up to Drum House and turned left up to Brandreth. Back down again to Haystacks and then back down from there to sit at Innominate Tarn for an hour or so in the sun. Back down for a beer at the Scafel Hotel. Only Derek & Peter on this walk.
A shortish walk this one as we start quite high up on the Honister Pass. A very foggy, wet and windy day however so it was quite hard work. Only stayed at the top for a few seconds just to say I had been there! Steve and Peter on this one. Too foggy to get any good pictures!
Set off from Peterlee just before 6.00 am in Dereks car. It was freezing cold when we left and as we arrived in the Lakes the temperature was as low as -7. Stopped briefly on the shores of Ullswater to get a great shot of the Lake, beautiful sky in the background and a slight haze on the mountains.
Early morning Ullswater
We parked in Patterdale and ate the Scotch Eggs to give us energy! (Peter loves the Scotch Eggs). We started walking about 8.00 am and as usual started the slow climb up the mountain. It was a perfect day for walking, very cold but very clear, not a cloud in the sky.
