back on the Pennine Way - cairns near the summit of Fountains Fell with Pen-y-Ghent behind (where we had just come from)
I fell like I have been in hibernation over the last 2 months! Winter in Australia is really nothing to complain about, but the cold morning of late have got the better of me, that or i have just been lazy and wanted to sleep in...A 3.15am wake up and in the car on the way to something worth taking photos of. Despite a lot of clouds and some early rain and my feet white cold and numb i got some ok shots i think.
Taken on Rannerdale Knott looking towards Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks, snow appears on the higher fells behind.
Views of Grasmoor and Derwent Fells as some low cloud grazes the fell tops. Taken from atop Red Pike besides Buttermere.
Brant Fell, a small steep outcrop above Lake Windermere rises to 629 feet (191 metres) and provides an excellent viewpoint with stunning views over Lake Windermere and its surrounding fells including the Langdales and Crinkle Crags. The fell is but a short walk from the town of Bowness-on-Windermere, the remains of a Victorian viewing station can still be seen there.

Snaefell Mountain Railway vestibuled saloon 5 is seen approaching The Bungalow as it descends the line's namesake mountain. The railway uses a Fell Incline Railway System center rail for emergency braking capability as it descends grades up to 10% from the summit down to Laxey. The railway is now the only operating railway to use the Fell system, as other installations in France, Brazil, and New Zealand have either ceased operations or have had the Fell system removed.
Lonscale Fell is a hill in the English Lake District. Its pointed second top is instantly recognisable, standing at the eastern end of the Skiddaw massif. The fell is easily climbed from Keswick or from Skiddaw House to the north. Although now primarily a sheep pasture, it once saw considerable mining activity beneath the long eastern wall of crag.
