Lake District - Jan 2016

 
Photographs from Januarys trip to the Lake District.  Pretty chilly conditions and icy roads curtailed a fair bit of our plans, combined with the damage done by the flooding, but a brilliant time, as always.
 
Top shot is from three quarters of the way up Blencathra, before we headed up and into the clouds.  Proper cold and with drifting snow up to thigh deep, it was a serious expedition!
 
The other shots are all snaps taken around the Keswick area, quite happy to be snow-bound in such a lovely area.
