Blowy Bowscale

Approaching Bowscale Tarn
The weather forecast didn’t quite live up to expectations yesterday as I was expecting to walk in glorious sunshine. Instead, it was cool, overcast and windy but it didn’t stop Molly and  me enjoying our day out.  We walked u pto Bowscale tarn before taking the steep, narrow path up the side of the corrie to the North Ridge. Once out of the shelter of the wind, the temperature dropped enough for me to add a fleece.  Skiddaw, Great Calva and Knott were hugging the clouds but Blencathra’s distinctive summit ridge was easily visible, standing proudly against the grey clouds
