Castlerigg stone circle

It's been day of snow showers and snow dumps. As Molly had an important evening meeting - I went down to Grasmere to pick Rowan, her puppy,  up for an overnight stay and the following day with me. The roads were ok, although there was lying snow on the way back, but the views were stunning and we managed a quick trip to Castlerigg stone circle on the way back (I'd bottled out - quite sensibly - of the road up there, during the snow last week). We did though make a hasty retreat from Castlerigg as the prolonged hail showers were quite harsh!

Just before the hail!
