Bannerdale Circuit - Bannerdale Crags & Bowscale Fell

Unfortunately once again I only had time for a quick dash out this morning. Early morning progress was further slowed by icy roads so I decided it was safer to be on the hill, Bannerdale Crags & Bowscale Fell were today's fine choice. As the morning progressed the wind picked up, bringing severe wind chill & made walking difficult - it was also beginning to cloud over but this was no concern to me as I was on my way home.
