Snow has arrived in Lakeland capping the highest summits non more so than Helvellyn which always draws in the crowds. I was hugely tempted to join them today but myself, David and Rod have our own plans for Helvellyn in a few weeks so I'll have to ignore the temptation no matter how hard.
Adding to the snow the Lakeland fells have seen a run a good weather which has brought cold temperatures, bright sunshine and even cloud inversions and some of my friends are enjoying the fells in their winter prime whilst I watch on from behind my desk, not jealous honest.
Resisting the urge to drive to Swirls I was reminded of a walk which Rod had suggested back in Autumn as a plan B to climb Wetherlam via Wetherlam Edge then return descending Steel Edge. As soon as I heard it I thought 'I'm having that for another day' Today is that day. |
