Although most of the snow was fast disappearing by the weekend, we did manage a couple of days on the hill. Firstly a round of Kentmere, with a surprising number of friends that responded to our last minute plans. The weather was amazingly warm and windless, so combined with the snow made for a fun day. After sampling a selection of offerings at Hawkshead Brewery and Wilfs Cafe on Saturday night, we managed to drag ourselves out for a second day around the Fairfield horseshoe, which was less snowy and more cloudy, but still good fun, and only a couple of hours from home.
