Skiddaw (07.03.2010)

After our previous day's hike in the Borrowdale valley, this time myself and Jay took a more local walk, and up Skiddaw. Fantastic weather and conditions underfoot were a guarantee for a great day out, and despite starting off in a winter jacket, I was down to my vest top by the time we reached the top of Skiddaw. The sun shone perfectly over the snow-covered fells and it was a superb hike all round. We joined lots of other happy hikers at the summit for some lunch, before taking the eastern slopes down toward Skiddaw House. Once we'd reached here, we followed the footpath skirting above Glenderaterra Beck to get back to Keswick.
