We'd planned to go over Souther Fell on Saturday but it had started snowing on the way to Penrith. We hadn't brought our spikes with us (poor planning, I admit) so we sacked that idea and walked from Keswick instead, along the shore path at Derwent Water toward Friars Crag. It was forecast to be really windy at height so we probably didn't miss much. We went beyond Cat Gill then stopped for lunch. The snow had turned to rain in Keswick but did stop after a while and we had some nice views on the way back to Keswick.

We'd had a decent enough walk but we are fed up of cold, windy weather. Our walk was Keswick - Cat Gill on the Derwent Shore path. 9.65 km with 66m ascent.
No pics from Sunday, we went to Carlisle to do a walk in Bitts Park and to find Pleb's bench but blizzard conditions saw us retreat back home. Later on we went to Brampton and a walk in Ridgewood, more snow and high winds there. We did 9.65km in total with 120m ascent.
