Ne'er Shed a Clout

The Blackthorn may be flowereing - just, but winter is not yet through. The forecast was for showers, and true enough, we had 4mm overnight. That's 4mm of rain at 900ft, but by the look of Barton Fell , it fell as snow a little higher.


Blencathra always looks magnificent, but even more so with a dusting of snow.


The pennines too were clothed in white. But then Cross Fell has had snow on it constantly since before Christmas. So nothing new there!

  1. Real snow - definitely more than the paltry dusting which Skiddaw received.

    Glad to have "caught up", am very impressed with the birding lists, well done.
