Remarkably, it was easy to park mid-morning in Patterdale, despite it being half term! This was probably due to the closure of the Kirkstone Pass, as there was nothing wrong with the weather, which was cold and dry with no wind. A great walk - first up the well trodden track to Boredale Hause and then along the ridge to Beda Fell. The ridge is lovely with good views, albeit a bit murky later on. It was nice to see five Red Deer near the Hause and also to watch the trail hounds descending into Patterdale as we came back.
