Lake District Sat-Mon 16th-18th April 2016

Lake District April 2016

The first walking trip of 2016, as we had done the best part of nothing during the winter months. Staying at Bram Cragg Farm lodges again, we arrived on the Saturday to rain, sleet and hail. This continued overnight and into Sunday, so Sunday lunch was taken at the Horse & Farrier in nearby Threlkeld, followed by an afternoon in Keswick dodging the rain. 

It did clear up some, and the pictures below are taken from the lodge looking out to Helvellyn and its snow capped top.







Looking out in the opposite direction towards Blencathra after some snow/sleet that lightly dusted the fells.






A few days later at the lodges and things had brightened up, and the lambs were in abundance everywhere we went, including the fields adjacent to Bram Cragg lodges.
















Some more views out from the lodges later in the week when the weather had improved.
