More snow

A further few inches fell at Brackenrigg - it's gone now, but these were the scenes first thing in the morning a few days ago...







The December snows created just beautiful vistas. These pics were taken from atop the small fell opposite Brackenrigg. It is called 'High Rigg', is really accessible and provides a real sense of space and panoramic views.

Here's Tewet's Tarn, and the view up towards Great Calva, between Lonscale Fell (the Eastern flank of Skiddaw) and Blease Fell (the Western flank of Blencathra)

This one is Skiddaw, from the same spot.
...and Blencathra
Clough Head had lost the sun, which was still shining on these sheep on High Rigg
