Lake District Weekend

We just had a great weekend in the North West Lakes at a place called eskmeals house which sort of looks like it does in the photos (probably in the Summer) but less so on a bitterly cold January weekend. There were only eighteen of us so plenty of room in this rambling old house for all of us and we managed two grand walks, a pub meal and rather a lot of wine and beer. On Sunday we had a walk around Wast Water and up onto the steep hillside including picnic lunch before heading home about 5pm. It was windy enough to be blown off your feet but it was also sunny with snow on the tops. Snow when we got back home too so gritted the road by hand (again).
