Potter tarn potter.

Friday 29th April 2016

The weather has changed. A lot of snow about and it is cold and breezy. Opt for a short potter down the river and up to Potter Tarn and Gurnal Dubbs then straight home. Good to be out for a bit but it took some effort to work up the enthusiasm.

Red Screes - Fairfield

Wednesday 20th April 2016

A beautiful day and I am off work. Over the past few weeks I have really wanted to head to the northern lakes but until the A591 is repaired I really can't be bothered to drive around. So I find myself at Kirkstone Pass. I sit a while to contemplate my options. Decide to head towards Fairfield via all the summits on the way. Going out I take in High Bakestones. A loveley spot.

The breeze is cold and gets stronger but after turning for home it is behind me and I am fine in shorts and T shirt all day. The climb back up to Red Screes slows me. Really need to get fitter.

Back at the car it is positively hot. Head straight home. A bacon sandwich awaits.
