Boxing Day on high

Boxing Day bought blue skies but the cold wind persisted. We had a quiet morning before Kate rounded us up for a walk up Irton Fell. Thomas made it to the top first and cut a striking figure on Irton Pike:

...but we caught up eventually.

 

We found a wild Christmas tree in its native environment,

and loved the views across Moor End to the sea and back inland to the Wast Water valley and Great Gable. We shared some macadamia nut brittle at the top to ward off the cold. A small contribution to offset some of the mountain of treats that we've received so far.
