Needless to say the weather changed our plans!

There was very little snow on the ground and even the high fells had lost much of their white coating.

It was a cracking day for it too! Snow up to thigh deep in places, a chance for fine walking, great scenery and snow related tomfoolery.

We set out early and were soon halted by having to make regular stops for photos of rivers in spate, flooded hotels and overflowing lakes.

It was dry to start off with and the rain only really started as we reached the tarn. The Tom Gill waterfalls were superb, raging torrents in places.

Lorraine suggested Rivington, so off we went. The weather was cloudy but the cloud was heading north all the time and we soon had lovely autumn sunshine.

As usual, my plan changed and I went to Torver instead.

We managed to get parked at the foot of Hardknott Pass before too many turned up. It was busy later as many wanted to enjoy a day of great weather.

I was very diappointed as I had lost a wager with Liz that I would buy her a pint if it rained. It did and I did!

For a pleasant change they were wrong! Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:00:00 +0100
