Lake District - March 2006 (4) - a photo on Flickriver

Lake District - March 2006 (4)

More photos from The Lake District taken in 2006. We had a great weekend walking in very ice conditions at the beginning of March 2006. Our first walk was from Honister over Grey Knotts, Brandreth, Green Gable and Great Gable. We had dinner on Gable above The Needles with glorious views over to Sca Fell Pike and Down Wasdale to the coast. There isn’t much of the lakes that you can’t see from this walk, and particularly from a Circuit of Gable. We had four cameras between us and it was more of a photo fest than a walk. We descended the Western side of gable to Beck Head and skirted under Gable Crag to Moses Trod. We walked across the flank of Brandreth to Dubs Quarry and back to Honister. A short but great walk.
On Sunday we parked in Great Langdale and headed up Redacre Gill to Pike of Blisco, again the views were stunning. Dropping down to Red Tarn we bypassed Cold Pike and headed for The Crinkle Crags. Again we had our sandwich stop in a stunning place, sat on a crinkle looking down Langdale (and the Rest). Next up was Bow Fell, another top that can be seen from all over the Lakes so you can obviously see a lot from it’s summit. We wanted to descend by Ore Gap – and we did! The ice was two foot thick in places, it was like a small glacier and difficult to get down without crampons. Angle Tarn was frozen over, it sends a lot of winter in the shade. Rossett Gill and Mickleden led us back to Langdale. Nearly 13 tough miles with four cameras and lenses as well as the usual rucksack full of gear, it was another day to remember.
Monday was a quick circuit of Loughrigg, up to Grasmere and back to Ambleside, our usual base, I had a newly acquired Fuji 617 with me and I wanted to practice using it, tripod, Light meter the works. I had the rest of my kit with me as well, no wonder I’ve got knee trouble.
