October break

I used to call it half term, but when you're not teaching, it's just a break from the building.
Went to the Lakes for a few days before helping out at the OMM (this year in the Howgills).

Keswick, Derwentwater and Cat Bells from Latrigg.

 Autumn colours.


On one day we did Grisedale Tarn to White side on the Helvellyn ridge.

Somewhere near Lower Man on the way down
You can just see Grasmere in the distance

Another day we did something new by Ennerdale - over Caw Fell and down the Steeple Ridge. Uncanilly still and warm for October.
 
 Not a single ripple on Ennerdale Water.

 Plenty of mist and a plague of Crane-flies near Steeple.


 We managed a couple of longer runs: one up to Skiddaw House from Keswick and another over in the Caldbeck Fells - Carrock Fell being very mushy to get to.
