Will the hot weather ever come to an end?
Thought I'd take a look at our local patch this afternoon and wander round the Kentmere Horseshoe. I decided to walk up the valley towards the reservoir this time and then catch the path up towards the Nan Bield Pass.
It's one of the best scrambles in the Lakes! So what better way to kick off the Easter Bank Holiday weekend?
Great exposure, some fun scrambling and a stiff (freezing) wind...
With weather like this you've just got to get out!
We drove up the Newlands Valley to see if an ice route I know there-about might be frozen, they say it should be if Derwent Water is at all frozen (and it was).
Not the best weather...
Well not quite Xmas day, but just after...
