YES!! There's snow in the hills; let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Not too much tho, 2 - 3 metres should be enough. Glorious mini ride up and down Hawkshead hill with a slippy slidey leafy exhilerating descent back to Ambleside. Suspect the snow may be gone in a few days, humph.

Bits of snow already. I'm jealous.;)

For other Lake District fans among us, I keep tabs on what it's like up there using this site (scroll down the page a bit to get to the photo's). A bit on the tops but it looks good.

Which way did you descend Hawkshead Hill? I'm guessing past Barngates if you were heading to Ambleside.

I don't think my brother would agree on the slippy slidey descent being that fun.:whistle:

Yep, up from Hawkshead side and down past Drunken Duck. Maybe slippy slidey was a bit of an exaggeration, careful, brakes on, trying not to slide may be nearer the mark! Tis a wonderful fast descent when dry tho.
