    I should add that at this time of year some excellent apartments are available at less than B+B prices.

    Well I was thinking of taking my girlfriend up to the Lakes in January for a long weekend.
    I've always gravitated to the Keswick side of things for some reason, but if you know of any specific good deals Ambleside way do let me know.
    Specially if it's stumbling distance from the Golden Rule.
    PS. Is there a shortish race in the Lakes anywhere at that time of year? Might dust off the Mudclaws if so ....

    Blakes Heaven, about 5 miles, starts at Lamplugh Church usually the last Saturday in January. Terrific little race if you're up that weekend.

    Had a walk around Langdales over to Bowfell on Saturday. There was plenty of snow up there, knee deep in places. Must have fallen on Friday evening hardly any footprints and we had fun guessing where the paths should be.
    Good day out, pretty wild when the wind whipped up though.

    Small amount of fresh snow overnight but not down low - it just catches the very top of Wansfell Pike.

    From Patterdale this morning the spindrift from Helvellyn along Nethermost to Dollywagon was quite a spectacle. The hail and sleet in the valley made working outside not so attractive!

    Some fresh snow overnight on the top of Wansfell and Red Screes. Very windy yesterday evening - at times I was blown to a standstill running down the Kirkstone Rd to Ambleside - so there may be very large/deep drifts in places.
