Good morning all. Sharing the 5.9 step with
@Lily123, and a unicorn to boot.
Still got lots of snow but I’m thinking it’s slowly starting to thaw, in the village at least, but after walking in some ridiculous snow drifts yesterday I think it’ll be around the area for a while! Our walk to Tarn Hows started off great, it was such fun walking through the snow, we both fell a couple of times which made us laugh as we couldn’t get back up. We weren’t laughing by the time we got there and saw the snow was even deeper to get down to the tarn. We trudged down anyways, I naively thought the fabulous accessible path around the tarn would have been cleared but alas it hadn’t, the tarn was frozen and did look beautiful but we just took a quick photo or two and headed back home. My feet were really cold and wet by this time and my back/ pelvis/ hips decided to misbehave, oh it was agony, pain killers and using my walking poles like crutches got me back. Six hours and five miles and apart from the first 200 metres and the last mile it was all through deep snow!
Staying in today more because our walking boots are soaked through. We like an adventure but sometimes they go wrong, did get some lovely photos, every cloud and all that!
😉
@freesia happy birthday and welcome to the 60s club, it’s not all bad, I’m just getting use to it and I’m heading towards my mid sixties now!
😱
Have a Happy Monday folks. Stay warm and cosy, don’t be like Eggy wandering through snow with a bad back, and heading towards her pension. It’s not big and it’s not clever!
1. Virgin snow, we were having fun at this point.
2. Wondering whether we’d bitten off more than we could chew!
3. A bit of colour on a monochrome day.
4. Smiling for the camera even though I had soggy feet.
5. We made it!
6. Frozen Tarn Hows and not a soul to be seen, I wonder why?
7. Do we sit down for lunch?
8. That’s actually the road to get to the NT carpark!
9. Nearly back, beautiful sky over Coniston Water.
10. Just a few more metres and looking forward to a hot bath.
