Winter was starting to show itself today with a fine dusting of snow on the highest summits and a bitterly cold wind (-19). When we were at the top we could only sit down for 5 minutes before it was getting too cold for us!

Styhead Tarn about a mile and a half into the walk.

Great End to the left and Broad Crag to the right.

Great End and the mighty ravine of Skew Gill.

Snow starting to fall.

The Scafells.

The memorial on the summit of Great Gable - a few patches of snow about!
