As is often the case in March we had an extra taste of winter today. No snow down in the valley but plenty on the fells and a very cold wind. So we decided to walk up to Tanr Hows as you will know, a regular walk of ours. The route we chose for today was to the head of the lake, through Monk Coniston woods to High Cross, where we would turn left (west), towards Tarn Hows. Only we didn't! On reaching High Cross I suggested turning right for a change. After very little discussion that's exactly what we did, into the forest at High Cross and along the ridge. After a mile or so we turned right again and headed downhill towards 'Tinkler', Rawlinson Ground and on to the head of the lake before returning home. The walk took 2 hours 40 minutes.
Looking towards Wetherlam and Tilberthwaite. The patches of sunshine were brief and moved quickly.
Another patch of sunshine briefly highlights Raven Crag.

Eventually the track wound downhill towards Tinkler and Rawlinson Ground.
