The Big Thaw.

Friday night brought rain, all night and most of Saturday morning. By the end of the day most of the snow had gone, What is left on the higher ground makes the fells stand out more clearly than ever. This is the High Street range as viewed from the departure lounge.

Walking up in the local forest, we were suprised by how much snow was still left today, even though the temperature has been above freezing for the last couple of days.

As we neared the end of the walk, we were rewarded with the sight of this little chap/chapess high in the trees above us. We saw one in exactly the same spot on our last visit here, on New Years Day. You'll need to double click on the photo to find him!
