Blending in with the scenery!

I really like this photo because it looks like Winter beyond the obvious – I mean you feel wintry just looking at it. As a child, teenager….and even an adult I loved and continue to love eating snow and the best way is always sucking your woolly gloves after building a snowman…sick huh?

Well it’s also quite a colour co-ordinated pic and it beckons you in and anyway it’s up Boredale Hause which is one of my most favourite places in the world.

As long as you don’t have to then trek beyond and upwards to the summit of Place Fell, the fell, that is, the Mount Springfield of Cumbria, then it’s a wonderful place to regard Patterdale below to one side and across and down into Martindale down the other side. You turn one way you’re going up Place Fell, you turn the other you’re walking out towards Angle Tarn Pikes and it’s just the best viewing place to look all the way over to the Helvellyn range.

I am sooo biased. And best of all you can spy the Inn on the Lake where the absolute best toasted teacakes in the world form a part of the absolute best afternoon tea in the world (except maybe the one at the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok).

Fancy a walk this weekend anyone?
