Yesterday the sun shone only very briefly just allowing us to witness the cloud and thickening fog surround the peak..... giving a stunning perspective of a winters morning
although this was the scene from the same spot looking back towards the forest, the fog is rolling in at a pace
of course once at the top the only thing in sight was the Trig point... the usual stunning views were down to a few meters
although this Little Grebe found the only patch of unfrozen water in a small overflow pool.
Little Grebe.. at work
at Rest.....
and Play ....
finished off with lunch at the very welcoming Leathers Smithy public house

Lovely images of a walk I have often done but not for a few years so they bring back some great memories. Crag Inn,Hanging Gate and the Leathers usualy figured in our route planning.
Cheers Andrew. Glad they have provoked some good memories. If you fancy meeting up sometime in early spring for a walk and a twitch of the Pied Flycatchers in the forest, a pint in one of those pubs shouldnt be too difficult
