Pike of Blisco
All last week I had a hankering to go to the Lakes this weekend. Walking when there is snow on the tops and crisp cold air is brilliant - you just can't beat it. So we packed up and went camping. I didn't really get to walk in the snow, although there were tiny patches here and there in shady spots and some ice in some of the gullies, it was far too warm and sunny for any of it to last. But this was fine too! We had a potter over Pike of Blisco (705m) and round to Whorneyside Force (6 miles).

I can understand the calling of the Lakes, it is such a beautiful place. I can't get to the places in your pics anymore, so thank you for sharing them, they look so beautiful.
Lucky you, getting to walk in the Lakes. It sounds like you had a fab camping weekend.
Those sheep look lovely and fluffy :-)
Those photos take me back to our walking in the Lakes weekends a long time ago now. I think I need to go back before too long..
lovely photos. I'm very envious. Kids not up to camping yet, or walking that far!!! Although we have done pike o'blisco with DS in the backpack the other year.
Gorgeous pictures. Looks like a lovely weekend. I should take the BF to the Lakes at some point, can you believe he has never been?
Wonderful pictures, and I love the Lakes. Am getting the urge to get the tent out soon...
