Sun Mar 7th.Following last Sunday's disappointing weather Monday was brilliant. Clear, cold and initially very sunny with very little wind so too good to miss and a walk to the top of Red Screes produced some good pictures. Still a lot of snow on the way up and on the top and in places wher it had drifted it was three feet and more deep. Well I would have used pictures from that walk and a shorter stoll that we enjoyed on Thursday but today the weather has been absolutely stunning. Almost cloudless skies, very little wind and some real warmth in the sun at last. Still a great deal of snow on the high fells and with frosty nights this has become quite hard packed requiring care with choice of line of ascent and descent. Sorry for the delay in uploading this week's "Latestpictures," I took that many that it has taken more time than usual sorting out those I wanted to use.
Follow this link to Asset-ICT Consultancy Ltd. who host Eyeonthelakes and who I should like to thank for their continuing help and efficient service.
A personally signed "Eyeonthelakes" CD of a selection of my walks is still available, it features more than fifty days on the hills and contains over 1000 pictures resized to 800 x 600 pixels for better viewing. The CD will cost £5 and is available from Fred Holdsworth's Bookshop on Rydal Road Ambleside. The CD is not intended as a walking guide but is just a personal record of enjoyable days on the hills. Comments and suggestions about my website are always welcome.tony@edinboro5.freeserve.co.uk I should also be pleased to hear from you if we have met on the hills at anytime but please indicate in the subject line where or when we met.
