On high

The forecast looked pretty good for an overnight trip so I headed up to Shelter Crags near Crinkle Crags for a wildcamp. carrying the extra kit, tent, sleeping bag etc is a bit of a pain especialy as I carry the dog food etc as well but for nights like these its well worth the effort in the end.
 Even thought the sunset wasn't as dramatic as I would have liked the swirling low cloud added a real sense of atmosphere. Sadly the compact camera cant capture the low light as well as a DSLR would but thats something that I have to live with for now.
Dawn next morning was different, perfectly calm with some wonderful warming light. I was able to take it all in high above the Langdale valley which even had a touch of low mist for good measure.

A short walk near Windermere.

  I had to pop over to Kendal today to deliver some work so I took the opportunity to give the dogs a bit of a walk near Windermere. The weather was not too good with low cloud covering all of the high fells so I opted for a stroll up to Orrest Head, my fouth visit of the year. The snows from earlier in the week were now thawing fast with only patches on the fell sides that I could see.

Troutbeck Valley.

One of the best views today was the patch of sun on Sour Howes and the light in the Troutbeck valley.

The Langdales.

Normally this view of the Langdales is inspirational, not today though, with only a shaft of light on the water's edge providing interest.
