Lake District weekend away at Rydal hall
23rd January 2010
Saturday's long walk: Fairfield, and most of the other Eastern fells
Misty morning
Cumbria bathed in fog
Ghostly mist in the Rothay Valley
Ditto
Steeply up (isn't it always?)
Getting higher and colder now
Peter contemplating
Herdwick sheep, well wrapped-up against the weather
Looking west to the Coniston range
Mist now covering everything below the high fells
The icy summit of Fairfield
St. Sunday Crag
Whiteout
Heavy going climbing through the snow
But a lot easier sliding down!
Cath and Lou going in convoy
Chloe turning and braking before hitting the photographer
Descent down to the misty valleys again
A hot drink in Ambleside
Taking an easy route back to the bunkhouse
Walk led by Roger G; photos by Mark H and Lou S
