Kidsty pike and a sharp return to winter,April 2016

A quick overnighter had me leaving Troutbeck at 10 am and a walk up Garburn pass,along the Kentmere round peaks then over to High street and a camp on Kidsty pike summit,returning the same way on the Sunday 





               It was a lovely morning 8-14c and the fells looked lovely 









Have been trying these from bars have to say tasty and seem pack some energy for such a small bar


                          The new colour Trailstar is very inviting 


Tonights tea was another Bla Bland one bought from Base camp foods,this one is Wilderness Stew 







After a nice brew and taking in the view i awaited Lees arrival,as he was coming up later,he arrived around 6-30 and brought the first flecks of snow with him
 













In the space of the next 2 1/2 hrs the snow came down very thickly,but 2 ! changes in wind direction,had me having to move the door of the TS twice,by 11 a good 3" had fallen 




 This was tea,i think i put a little to much water in and even so it tasted really really good,will be ordering more of this flavour too.Good taste plenty of meat and rehydrated really well and this opening along the long side is so much better than all the other meal packages

   

Dawn brought a suprise cold of -4.3c a good test of my 0c Summerlite bag 




                              But ohh what a stunning morning 
 





                                    Sadly cloud obscured the sunrise















Sadly this valley may be the resting place of our last Golden eagle,who has been on his own the last 5 + years








By Dinnertime i was back on my way back down garburn pass and a lovely warm early afternoon it was too 


                           Heres a video i did of the walk,thanks for watching
