A cold wind on Walla Crag
Oh, it was cold on top of Walla Crag. The weather seemed mild down in Great Wood, where the walk started, and it felt even warmer on the steady, steep climb up the rocky path to the summit. Once on the top, however, the wind blew all warmth away and it was too uncomfortable to stand on the rocky plateau for very long. Even the surface of Derwent Water below seemed covered in goose-bumps as the wind blew over its surface. There was little time to admire the view before being forced to retreat to a sheltered spot for lunch. This picture was taken from there - Derwent Water, Bassenthwaite Lake (the only lake in the Lake District!) and Keswick.
