A bitterly cold winter weekend

This weekend has been a really cold one! Saturday wasn’t as cold as today, but the forecast was a bit iffy, so we decided to check out the diversion on the canal path so that I could update my West End Walks book. Tomorrow I will create and upload an updated version with an appendix to cover the diversion that’s in place on one of my walks, due to the temporary closure of part of the path.

Before setting out for our walk today (Sunday), we decided to take our chances that lockdown might hopefully be lifted enough for us to travel in May to the Lake District. So we booked the stunningly situated campsite at Langdale for a week. They say that if your stay is affected by Covid restrictions that you can get a refund, but fingers crossed it won’t come to that.

So now we’re back home and heating up again after our walk along a short section of the West Highland Way. Normally when we do this walk, we combine it with a drink or a lunch at the Beech Tree Inn, but unfortunately the lockdown doesn’t allow for that.

We did cut it a bit short as it was so cold, and, at the point where we turned back, it had started to snow.

It’s a lovely walk’ even on a dull winter’s day. Here are a few photos…
