Patterdale Circuit. 2 days. 6 Wainwrights.

An overnight bus from London meant an early start on this two day hike, which included a rather chilly wild camp near Pooley Bridge. Low level fog and snow capped peaks gave us beautiful views on Sunday morning!

Windermere to Patterdale to Ambleside. 2 days, 11 Wainwrights

For this trip I took the train to Winderemere, and walked for 8 hours to Patterdale over 7 Wainwrights with stunning views and fantastic conditions. I spent the night at Patterdale YHA, enjoying the evening sun and local Ale.

The way back on Sunday took me 6 hours from Patterdale to Ambleside, but weather conditions were terrible (high winds and rain all day), so Sunday photos just show summit cairns!

Highlight of the weekend was Angletarn Pikes... it was my final summit of the day on Saturday, and I arrived at the same time as the best sunshine of the day!
