Lake District Adventures

Over Half term myself and Danny spent three days enjoying some fine winter weather in the Lake District. Day 1 took in Grasmere, Helm Crag, Greenup Edge and Eagle crag, before stopping at Rosthwaite camping barn for the night.
Day 2 was a big climb out of the valley up High Spy and a lovely ridge run down to Cat Bells. This was followed by a brief dip in a chilly Derwent water and a nice warm bed (compared to the previous night) in Keswick Youth Hostel. Day three was up onto the ridge on the eastern side of Derwent Water taking in Bleaberry fell, High Seat and High Tove before dropping down to Harrop Tarn and the car park below to finish. All in all a cold, tiring few days which were enjoyed immensely and will no doubt be followed by more adventures in the future (I hope). Below is a selection of the best pictures:
