More time up in the Lake District this week and a chance for some winter walking. This first one however wasn’t full on snow, just a bit of frost and ice on the paths and a fresh wind. These three fells make an excellent round and the views from Crag Fell along Ennerdale are some of the best there is. The descent off Lank Rigg can be tricky however I stayed on the path around the edge of Lank Rigg Moss and therefore stayed dry. A good start to the week.
