Lake District (from Carnforth)

16th January 2009 to 18th January 2009

Alison and I visited Ruth in Carnforth for a weekend of Wainwright-bagging (or just walking, in my case!). Storm force winds and blizzards had been forecast, but we got away with just a couple of showers. On Saturday, we walked in the Far Eastern fells, including High Street, and on Sunday we did four short, low-level walks up obscure Western, Northern and Central fells!

Saturday: High Street from Hartsop. Patterdale, from the ridge of Hartsop Dodd	Looking towards High Raise	Red Screes	Windermere, from Caudale Moor
