With reports of snowman making in Bristol, good sledging conditions in Corris (Wales), 8"-10" of snow in Derbyshire and snowboarding in Staffordshire I was a little disappointed that we didn't have any snow at home! However, there is a little on the Bowland Fells, so today he headed up Hawthornthwaite to take a look.

| Runner - Both parties were surprised to see the other up here! |
Hawthornthwaite (478m) is the hill we can see from our bedroom window. Its a great heathery fell with views of the coast to the East and miles and miles of heather clad hills to the west. Today it was very cold, windy and bleak (brilliant). We were very surprised to see a runner (usually you don't meet people up here!)!
It was so cold and exposed, we delayed lunch until we got down to an estate shooting hut in a wooded clough near the end of the walk!
