29th Dec 03 - Wansfell
Another very cold but brilliantly sunny day. Simply wonderful.
We did the classic 6+miler up Wansfell (1500ft) for that glorious view the
length of Windermere and beyond to Morecambe Bay. Then along Nanny Lane to
Troutbeck before returning on my all-time favourite - Robin Lane.
However many times we do this walk, it never fails to impress. And today it was
"dressed" superbly in its best winter clothes!
