TR What we got up to in Dec 16
« on: 19:44:19, 16/11/17 »
From a wild camp on Helm Crag. From Town Head we walked up Greenburn and visited Gibson Knott then met our friend, Bonkers Old Biddy, near Helm Crag.

Town Head Hen Playground was busy today


Beefy and Bonkers with the Drift and the Duomid pitched near Helm Crag


The sunrise produced a lovely red glow


The red glow turned orange


From a day walk from High Side. We did Bakestall via Barkbethdale and Broad End

Beefy with Southerndale and Ullock Pike in view


Beefy on the highest point on Bakestall


Lonscale Fell and Skiddaw House


On the way to Threlkeld, high above the Glenderaterra


From a day walk over Blencathra

On Scales Fell


Looking back at Scales Fell


Beefy on Blencathra summit


Looking back from the path to Blease Fell


Looking across to Gategill Fell from the bottom of Blease Fell


From a day walk up Dodd

Derwent Water from the ascent


Beefy on Dodd summit


The view without the slug on it  ;)


Only one wild camp in December last year, it was too cold for us two!

Is there any other hill whose summit is marked by a OS concrete ring, I can't think of one.

April the fount of all knowledge.


For some reason photobucket is still letting me post photos but I have had to wait 48 hours for them to allow me to log on and find the picture.
