christmas tree
found on failbooking.com, this is why I have a fake tree, it’s less cruel that way

Waiting for the sun to shine
A last trip out. A lot less snow and ice, perhaps ullswater has been like this all week and we’ve been sticking to the frozen lands of derwent.
So what can you see with these last 2 (ooh bonus!!) pictures then? There’s a view across brothers water to the mountains beyond and a shot looking up ullswater, was hoping the sun would come out and shine but it decided not to. So there you go, a couple of moody lake shots.
EPIC
The lake district car parking facilities would currently appear to be either iced over, shut or filled with mountain rescue teams coordinating things. Aside from the car parks derwent water and bassenthwaite lake are frozen over, thirlmere isn’t and the Keswick co-op is an independant one that won’t give you points and which chip and pin hasn’t reached yet. Just so you know. Epic road trip over.
Latrigg Fell
Managed to fail today an assault of Latrigg Fell in the lake district. Beaten back by the weather and despite everyone seeming to think otherwise I am well aware I don’t have the skills and equipment to do anything particularly adventurous in these conditions and I also have the sense to know when to turn back and give up.
I try to make it sound more impressive than it is but in reality its a small fell and I failed to even make the 300m contour. I’m blaming the snow and wind.
I’ll write more when I’m back but for now a picture from the point I gave up.

as a self promotional aside. The RPDL of the week feature WILL continue to appear. Like it or not. So if you haven’t done so, and like it, why not click on the subscribe thingy in the side bar. it’s just to the right. see. All it does is send any updates as an email so you can ignore them at your convenience, or on the other hand, allow them to make you feel wanted.
A cheery little picture to start your week.
