This was our first day of three great days up in the Lakes and was a great walk to start with, once again we stayed dry the weather wasn't too bad, but very cold and icy up on the higher tops.

A passing Hercules
Looking back to Ambleside and Lake Windermere
Sun light brightening up Ambleside
Nab Scar completed, Sharons first new Wainwright of the day
Number 2 wainwright, Heron Pike
Windermere glistens behind us
As we head towards Great Rigg the weather started to turn really wintry and a lot colder, here Holly contemplates launching herself into one of the half frozen pools
She just loves swimming, it must be freezing!
The top of Great Rigg, started to get really cold and icy from now up onto Fairfield
Heading up onto Fairfield
The frozen top of Fairfield
and very cold!!
Holly never looks the right way!
Looking back down the ridge we had walked up
looking across the High St and the far eastern fells
Sharon and Holly start the climb up to Hart Crag
a very monochrome scene

On Hart Crag
Looking back to Hart Crag as we head for Dove Crag
The top of Dove Crag, Sharon admires the view
As we stopped for a bite to eat, a couple of ravens dropped in, they werent sure about the Kendal Mint Cake!
After walking past High Pike and not realising, this is Low Pike
and the view down into Ambleside
I just love photographing Herdys!!
A lovely walk back down the lower slopes, really warm in the sun, having been frozen not long earlier, we were down to base layers!
This was a great walk, a first for Sharon, and I had not done it for many years, 6 new wainwrights for Sharon and a great start to our long weekend in The Lakes.
