 Last light behind the Scafells

 Only had this twice at camp,and couldnt do it justice....winter night time inversion...breath taking is what it was

 Pic above taken under a big auld moon about 10-30 pm

 

 Three tarns

A walk up from Grasmere over to langdale and return back to behind Blea rig to camp,but after a few hrs (first time in over 20yr) we made decision to leave as we were then in a constant 40 mph wind with gusts hitting us from two sides at once at 60+ mph.Our shelter would have stayed up but we would have got no sleep,so we left...long day in the end with 30 gusts 50 and windchill around -12c most of the day
