Herdwick sheep above Stool End Farm.
The farmer at Stool End Farm certainly wasn't taking any chances when it came to identifying his flock. The bright orange markings certainly made these hardy Herdwick sheep stand out. I assume that the farmer had rounded up his flock and brought them down to warmer less hospitable conditions. Mind you, these Herdwick sheep are well known foreign able to eke out a life up on the high fells. Pike of Stickle is the prominent summit in the background.
We would soon leave the sheep behind and head off up into the snow for a memorable day.
