Grizedale forest

Today I walked through Grizedale I stayed low because the weather was blustery and showery. Allthough i made it up to carron crag probably about 1000ft. It was a pleasent walk of about 10 miles I followed the green markers from the visitors centre. The pics are of Carron crag, a sunburst down the grizedale valley and a couple in the Forest where it was dry and a lot warmer than Carron Crag!!

p.s Wish you were here Eggy (stretch that back out mate it must be them Essex hills that done it)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today 18th November I walked up Gt Gable, I headed up the path to the west of the mountain and then headed east at 2000ft the cloud rolled in as you can see from the summit pic of Alf on the way down it started to break and you can just make out Wast Water. The pic of me has the Ennerdale Valley and Haystacks and then some evening pics of the valley and Gt Gable.

12th November I climbed a mountain near Ambleside called Red Screes the weather was great today and the views were amazing especially off the summit. On the picture you can see the Kirkstone Pass inn one of the highest pubs in England. The picture of me on the summit has Yoke and ill bell of the Kentmere Horseshoe in the background. There is also a pic down to Brothers water and a great pic of Hellvelyn and Striding Edge with some snow on the top. I desended down the Scandale Pass to Ambleside a nice walk with red screes on my left and high and low pike to my right of the Fairfield Horseshoe. The walk was approx 9 miles and took 4 hours in total.

Today Nov 5th was the day America got its first black president and I more importantly climbed Tarn Crag near Grasmere. Again it was a great day with blue skies all the way round, the pic on the summit cairn is me and alf on tarn crag, looking down on the larger tarn is Easedale tarn and the smaller is Coledale Tarn. Iam crossing the stream just below Easedale, the walk was 6 miles and it took me 3.5 hours as I took my time and strolled around the route. A great strole around the Grasmere hills hopefully i will be back next week.

On the 3rd November I walked up Pike of Blisco in Langdale it was a great few hours as the weather was perfect with views allover the Lakedistrict. The picture of the car has crinkle crags and bowfell in the background and the other pics has me and alfie on the summit cairn and the langdale pikes in the distance.
