As the weather was so gorgeous today, decided on a spur of the moment drive up to the Lakes. Takes us only an hour from home to get to Windermere so we go quite often. Parked in Ambleside about 11.00, had a bacon butty and a pot of tea and decided to walk up
Red Screes. Not a summit I would want to tackle in bad weather-you'd likely be knee-deep in snow-but today it was just perfect. Hard work at 2,546 ft but worth it for the 'Oh my god' views down to the Kirkstone pass from the top. And the first pint in the 'Golden Rule' at the bottom!
