Blencathra

Yesterday was a repeat of another walk that was first done around thirty years ago.  This time it was down to the Lake District, for a jaunt up Blencathra via Halls Fell Ridge.  Again it was an icy start to the drive down, and by the time I got down to the Lakes, it was daylight.  The hills were surprisingly bare of much snow, although it was cold.



The route is a steep pull to start with, and views are soon to be had to the south ...


And to the Pennines in the East ...


Soon after this was joined by Jonathan of Blencathra Art, and soon arrived at the top.




Ater which it was a quick trip down and a small refreshment in the pub before the drive home ...
