02 December - Fog and snow


Last night we went to see 'New Moon' at Bowness. Unfortunately it snowed and we could not get up the hill out of Skelwith Bridge and so we returned to Ambleside and stayed at The Low Wood Hotel on the banks of Lake Windermere.

By the morning the roads were clear, although we nearly collided with a snow plough. We then went to Keswick and Buttermere, with the morning giving dramatic skies and light with snow and fog. The Honister Pass road was closed and we could not get to the Buttermere Lake though.
