December 2011.

Not a good month for either walking or photography so rather a limited collection of pictures to end what has been a bad year for me. Hopefully things will improve in 2012 and I will be able to get out on the hills again but until then as I said I will be "mothballing" Eyeonthelakes for the time being after ten years of taking and uploading my pictures. So... here's the best of what we could manage for December. Once again may I wish a very happy New Year to all who have visited my website over the years. My thanks too for all the appreciative comments and suggestions that I have recieved during the past ten years.

Dec 29th. From Huntingstile above High Close, looking northwards to the Pass Of Dunmail Raise with Helm Crag and Steel Fell on the laft and the slopes of Seat Sandal and Helvellyn on the right.

Wet walkers crossing the bridge over the River Rothay at the end of Stoney Lane.

Ambleside centre busy with wet tourists.

The Golden Rule is probably the most popular place of refreshment for walkers and climbers in Ambleside.

And finally......Looking over a rain soaked Ambleside towards Todd Crag. So......that's it for the time being but keep watching the front page where I will keep you informed of progress.
