A late start today, and had a quick round of some of the local tops: Brae Fell, Great Sca Fell, Little Sca Fell, Knott, Longlands Fell and Lowthwaite Fell. There was no sun today, and it was bitter; consequently there was no-one about. Although we went round at quite a pace (trying to keep up with Sarah!) we were lucky enough to spot some of the local wildlife. A Kingfisher, a red squirrel (probably with squirrel pox as it had an ear missing, and 2 visitors from further afield obviously drawn here by the lengthy cold snap.

It was certainly cold enough for penguins.
You are completely mental Ian!
Hmm, that Kingfisher looks like a right wicked predator – all the fish had better hide…
