Mardale Head round walk - wintery conditions.

We arrived at 10 am at the carpark at the far end of Haweswater intending to walk around the lake. However, the sun was shining on fresh snow on Blea Water Crag, so there was a rapid change of plan! Up to Small Water tarn and up Nan Bield Pass and then onto Mardale Ill Bell. Absolutely stunning views and a fair bit of snow. Then onto High Street and then over: Riggindale Crag; Rough Crag; Eagle Crag; Heron Crag and Swine Crag before descending to the lakeshore and the car park. A cracking winter walk with an interesting but safe descent.
