A beautifully sunny winter's day coincides with time off work so we travel over Dunmail Raise for a walk across to Silver How. Silver was a good description as the late winter snow glistened in the afternoon sunshine.

A quick trip out to exercise the dogs turned into a really nice walk up and back to Dale Head. Early cloud caused a few shaddows but on the return by an unusual route, the sun broke through and full colour returned to the fells.

Five members of the Online Fellwalking Club gather for a walk in Wasdale overlooking "Britain's Favourite View" that of Great Gable and the Scafells from the shores of Wastwater.

A local walk with friends takes on a new light as we take a right turn at the start instead of continuing on the normal path. The winter weather really helped make this walk special too.

Following Saturday's very wintery conditions, today the weather has improved significantly and we take the opportunity to climb a local fell to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine.

A walk planned when the weather was brilliant takes on a whole new aspect as the clouds come in and it starts snowing. Grisedale, even though it was just 1500ft above the valley takes on a real Arctic feel as we climb for the top.

A combination of photos from our other walks over this holiday period.

A walk up our local fell for myself and my grandson, but a search for a boggy puddle turns into a bit of an unexpected adventure.

Our daughter, grandchildren and a friend are up for a few days so we chose a local walk that suited the rather inclement weather today. Let's climb up that mountain till we get to the big tree . . .

The scene is set in a London apartment and follows chat show host Patrick who is expecting his new TV boss for drinks. His womanising neighbour Trevor leaves a girl in his flat . . . just at the wrong moment.

A great day in prospect so we set off to complete the full round of Blake Fell from the western side. Normally we climb Blake from our (Loweswater) side but today we climbed fells and paths that we had never walked before.

Despite some ice on the road up Gatesgarthdale, we make the top of Honister Pass for a walk up on Fleetwith Pike. Great visibility but grey skies but a change of circumstances on the hill below us forces us to return home a different way.

Tonight we were due at a Chris Bonnington / Doug Scott lecture evening at Rheged so today we had a shorter walk. It was up onto the cold fells of Buttermere to check out a local waterfall and the view east from the top.

A shorter walk today due to afternoon commitments, but the weather was so nice we had to get out and decided to walk to the high level path around the back of Knock Murton to look down on Cogra Moss.

Roger is busy today with the Tethera Players stage set so I venture off in search of quiet fells and restful places. High Rigg was calling but it was Tewet tarn that was quiet and peaceful this lovely day.

A brief walk before the sun disappeared as the dogs needed an escape from the house. The late afternoon sun gave everything in the valley a pink tinge which increased as we entered the valley but had gone by the time we returned.

The slight problem of a lost mobile phone raised it's head yesterday, so today I repeated Ann's walk of yesterday in an attempt to find the lost item. Fortunately she chose a nice place to walk, so today I walked, head down at times, on a circuit of the upper Hope Beck Valley

A Sunday afternoon trip but still a great little walk up Ling Fell. The snow has thawed rapidly in recent days but this low north western fell has a great view to check out many of the high fells around it.

Jill, Nigel and I tried for a nice walk up Rannerdale Knotts but as we climbed, so the wind got up to the extent that it become unpleasant. That would be the time to turn around and enjoy the other delights of Buttermere, on offer at a lower level.

Jill and Nigel are up to stay for a few days and so we rush out to enjoy the continuing sunshine and blue skies. They don't know the local area that well so we chose a route to enjoy all the local sights.

A chance to see iced over lakes combined with a blue sky sunset from Walla Crag above Keswick. Ann and I climb the short distance from Castlerigg Farm to the summit overlooking Derwent Water and enjoy panoramic views again.

With the fine and very cold weather this is remarkable times for the keen photographer. Unfortunately I have to be in work today so I pack my camera along with an extra pair of gloves and head of in the car.

A second go at getting that illusive snowy panorama from the top of Mellbreak. I stand a better chance today compared to two days ago because it's a blue sky and sunshine day with not a cloud in the sky.

With a low wintery sun at this time of year we wanted a walk that was not totally "in the freezer" as the temperatures in Cumbria, like most of the UK at this time, is unusually and consistently below freezing.We drove a short distance to the other end of Loweswater Lake and walked back at a higher level.

It's another beautiful morning and the snow is still about but the roads are a little clearer and traffic is moving . . . not that you get a lot of traffic in Loweswater. Time for a local walk.

Poorer weather, well no sun or blue skies, and just three lads this time. Recent freeze and thaw has left many of the paths and roads very icy but away from the trodden routes the snow was easy walking ... provided it wasn't to deep !
