Not so Red Screes

Finally the Lakes received a drop of snow, so it was a disappointment that in the few days until I could get on the hills there was both a rise in temperature and heavy rain. Fortunately a little remained and the weather was better than forecast with only a few passing hail showers made it one of the better walks of the year so far..

Middle Dodd from Hartsop...



a steep climb ensues...

the lower level snow was wet & slippy...

Middle Dodd's summit, Red Screes looking white...

the strong icy winds made Red Screes summit a brief visit...

Crepuscular rays towards Windermere...

descending to the top of Scandale...

Little Hart Crag...

another brief hail storm hit at its summit...

looking back to Little Hart Crag...

High Hartsop Dodd's summit...

steep descent back to the valley floor...

a bit warmer at Hartsop...

back at Cow Bridge car park...
