Title: It's here... again
Post by: photonut on 22:36:40, 21/01/19
Managed a bit of a walk on Sunday in the glorious weather from Church Bridge (Troutbeck), up to Thornthwaite Crag and back via Troutbeck Tongue and Baystones/ Wandsfell Pike.


On my way between Froswick and Thornthwaite Crag:

At Thornthwaite Crag... it was just too nice to leave:

Many more walks ahead in the wintry conditions (I hope)


Cheers

What a difference a week makes. I was up that way the Sunday before in rain and gale force winds but temperatures so mild there wasn’t a hint of winter.

Excellent pictures. That's more like it, on our trip earlier this year it was dull as dishwater most of the time with not a trace of snow.

Cracking pics O0  white fells, blue sky and a temperature inversion you cant beat it  :)
We were going to do a version of that walk but were worried about getting over  Kirkstone so did the Greenburn round instead.
.You've inspired me to do a TR  ;D

Cracking pictures Lee - I made the wrong decision on Sunday and walked locally up the coast path in grey cloud - b#gger  :)

Great photos!  O0  It's been snowing fairly steadily all day here in the Peak District - hoping to get out for a wander in it tomorrow when we night have a bit of sunshine.

Thank you all for your comments

Hi Tim,

Yes it was a bit wet the previous week.  I was on the Fairfield Horshoe that weekend and it wasn't too much fun.  As you say, what a difference a week makes.

Hi Karl,

A friend of mine had a bad accident on Kirkston Pass on the Saturday so I decided to not even try it on the Sunday.  Hoping it's not too bad this weekend as I'm hoping to head to Hartsop at some point.

The Greenburn round must have been just as nice!!!

Great photos, looks lovely  O0

It was a great walk.  Thornthwaite is most definitely one of my favourites.

Hi Paul,

I'm sure you still had a good day out though.  Hopefully we can catch up soon

I only used my phone for the pics. Sadly it decided it was too cold when I was on Froswick so wouldn't start up.... I missed a superb pic too :(


Thank you once again everyone for your kind comments.
With a bit of luck at least one day this weekend might be just the same  :)
Cheers
Lee
