Well here they are JtE

I’m sure we’ll go for weeks and weeks when it won’t be worth getting the camera out of the rucksack, but for now Saturday after Saturday of unbelievably blue skies and sunshine are worth recording.  I think we were all feeling a bit leaden legged this morning but nevertheless a superb morning on the fells and here’s the evidence.

 

 Amble Recce (1 of 11)

Nic’O, JtE and EtU, about to drop down to the wooden bridge before the climb out to Dangerous/Ammunition Corner – and the bridge, below, complete with EtU.  Some of you will be visiting this as a checkpoint in the Winter Hill Fell Race next Sunday

The scene of many RTAs on (the very aptly named) Dangerous Corner

..and you can see why below – icy conditions yet again with Nic’O Rafe and JtE

Holcombe Tower – we must have a mission over there one Saturday.  View from Catherine’s Edge, with the inversion in the valley

Welcome refreshments at the turn off for the ToT for EtU while JtE stashes his drinks for next week’s Amble

Same place as last week but with the eerie finger of cloud coming in across the valley between Catherine’s Edge and Great Hill

..and then looking back from Great Hill to the ToT across the inversion above and below
