Monday 5th Jan, Blea Tarn and Lingmoor

We awoke to another cold and clear day, overnight it had snowed in the Lakes and the Eastern fells had slightly more snow than in the centre and western side.

Our walk today was from Blea Tarn up onto the ridge and then along the tops to the summit cairn.

We made a short detour to the Lingmoor Tarn and Oakhowe Crags to take some pictures of the Langdale valley before rejoining the ridge down towards Side Pike and the descent to the car park.

The paths were still very icy in places but these sections could be easily passed.
