The start point at Peter House Farm
Geordie had issues with the sheets of ice hidden on these paths all day
Looking across Bassenthwaite Common
Another nice shot a bit further along
First view of Bassenthwaite Lake
Following the trail to the start of the ridge walk
Skiddaw hidden by clouds
Group shot
Geordie putting on crampons for the ascent of a frozen Ullock Pike

Looking down to Bassenthwaite Lake
Stopping for coffee on Longside Edge
Longside Edge with Derwent Water in the distance
I've marked this track because it wasn't a good place to stop and take photos on. This section was very steep and crampon and axes were essentail
Snow with blue skies always looks fantastic
Zooming in on the track that would lead up to the summit. Clouds closing in.
Looking back to Longside Edge
Geordie took this pic of us approaching the top
Taking a breather
Admiring the blanketed slopes
It was very cold. Lee and Paul had a cuddle.
Group shot at the summit
The gradual descent
Another look at the ridge. Looking a lot sharper from here.
After a sidetrack off route around the side of Cockup, Little Calva and Dead Crags came into view
Following the path back to Peter House Farm
One last look out to Longside Edge
