Merry Christmas

Christmas Day has brought a welcome break in the wild and wet weather we have been having. For the first time, w have got Christmas to ourselves this year, and the plan has always been to get out on the fells. So here we go


Beautiful, sunny day but a bitterly cold, strong wind make for hard work. We have opted for High Pike. It's only a few minutes down the road, we know it like the back of our hand and no matter how icy, it won't cause a problem as its all grassy terrain. Above about 1600 feet and we had an inch or two of snow to make it feel like Christmas!

Christmas lunch. Hot soup and pasties in the shelter. What a fab way to spend Christmas, just the three of us doing what we love.

Too windy for pictures on the summit, but just before we get there, a quick snap to prove that we were there

Jeff demonstrates how windy it is.................. and so does Breeze

Back down nearly at the car. The locals have come to wish us a Merry Christmas
