Great Whernside

I walked a lovely circuit up Top Mere Road onto Great Whernside today.  The views back to the snowy fields striped with black stone walls were gorgeous.  Much of the walk felt like a frozen wasteland, particularly across the north side of the route.  I met no-one until I was on top of the hill - a chap I’d caught up with and a bloke coming the other way. 

The wind was whistling a little at the top so Little Dog put her coat on while I took a few photos.  Dropping randomly into the semi-frozen bogs on the way down was only amusing because I’d chosen to put my gaiters on and it didn’t last for long.
