The Viewpoint on Bleaberry Fell - Christmas Day 2010

We just want to wish all of you the very best for 2011 and many happy hours on the hills.
From all of us at Keswick Rambles, have a good one. Lyn, Pete, Bella, Halle, Alison, Cathy and Skye.

Merry Christmas and don't forget to stay safe on the mountains

As it's that time of year again we just want to wish you all Seasons Greetings and thanks for coming out with us last year. This is also a time to remember others and by that we mean the excellent Mountain Rescue Team we have in Keswick.  We just want to thank them all for their devoted service which is completely voluntary and keeps people safe on the fells.

Pete and I have just made a donation to them as we know that all contributions help keep them going.  If you want to make a donation please follow this link and thanks from us if you do.

I also wanted to remind you that we have a series of walks scheduled over the period between Christmas and New Year click the Christmas Walks label above for details.

Snowed again in Keswick

Yes it snowed again on Saturday morning, but only about an inch this time, but it has been very cold at night, about minus 8 last night... Tonight it feels about the same.  Many people have taken to wearing their crampons around the town and even in the parks. Some have tried to enter the local shops in them, so signs are up saying take them off, I should think so too.

Meanwhile, Bella, Pete and I went for a stroll delivering our Christmas cards today and we thought no crampons were needed but did put Bella's warm coat on, that's after Pete caught her of course....She sulked and ran away, and hid under the kitchen table, then ran into my den and tried to get under my coffee table.  Pete is used to these games and does not let her get away with it, the coat went on.  Next she had to wait tied up to the gate whilst I took a photo in the garden, so I thought why not take one of Bella too. I think her expression is saying 'come on - hurry up'.
