Making a very important decision at the turn off for Seathwaite
The plan of Scafell Pike had changed to a much quicker Catbells. The main concern was the road conditions so we decided not to venture too far from the main roads. We set off from Portinscale.
Snow showers on a ascent of Catbells
Saw many robins today
Becoming clearer but not so over at Skiddaw
Quick stop
Andy scrambling over the first rock wall
Geordie and Paul not far behind
Catbells summit ahead
Looking down into Newlands
Approaching the final scramble
Very slippery here today
Another look into Newlands. The summits of Hindscarth and Robinson completely buried
Looking further south to Maiden Moor
Rod and Andy at the summit of Catbells

Looking off towards Borrowdale
Derwent Water looking very inky against the snow
An opening in the cloud. Could be promising!!
Looking back along Skelgill Bank on Catbells
Where has all the cloud gone?? The summit to ourselves!
Descending the tiny steps. Very slippery aswell
