Hardknott - still snow bound.

We had a walk up Hardknott today.

A week after the snow and the pass is still well and truly closed. There are a few drifts on the first section up to the fort which will probably only last a couple more days. However the last section has significant drifting with the road pretty much lost in the snow. Unless it rains I can't see the pass being open for another couple of weeks.

I think they're trying to tell us something

Right I've eaten all of the grass and the braken and I'm sick of eating snow!

Harter Fell, pretty alpine even at low level.

  1. A week after the event...like you said, the Lakeland Loop is certainly in doubt now.
