Frosty nights are drawing in

It looks like winter has finally come to Keswick as we had our first frost at the weekend and quite chilly it was too. Never mind it will soon be time to dust off the crampons.....

In the meantime, here is a view of a top of Grange Fell, and I think it's Jopplety at least it looks suspiciously like it from here. It's one of those tops which I don't bother climbing up because it lacks interest for me but Pete usually nips up to the top.

Speaking of tops, the fell top I asked you to name from the photograph last time was of course Great Calva, so well done Lesley who guessed correctly.

We will be going out tomorrow on a bus and our destination is a small fell near Ambleside, the reason for this trip will be plain to see from the photographs I intend to take, so until then ...............

Which hill is this?

Some photos just came in from kira and one of them looked so good I thought you might like to guess the fell. What an atmospheric shot, so where is it? If you don't know all will be revealed next time.

Walking on Wednesday 28/10

Pete plans to lead a Classic "A" walk on Wednesday 28/10 starting from the Moot Hall in Keswick at 0900hr, price will be £12.50 each.

Transport will be arranged from there to Mosedale (back o'Skiddaw) and the route will be a traverse of the Northern Fells, starting with Carrock Fell, then Great Lingy; over to Knott and on to Great Calva, then down to Skiddaw House and back to Keswick by the Glenderaterra valley.

The walk is not part of the published programme which finished on Friday with a very successful but wet walk over Dale Head; Hindscarth and Robinson.

If you'd like to come on Pete's Wednesday walk please let me know by email, telephone or even knock on the door.

Bella is keen, and will be sporting her new coat unlike the piccie below which shows her before she was stripped out!  She is much smarter now and she knows it.....
