Sorry for the late posting!
Januarys traditional Keswick meet was held in Buttermere this year
Attendees were Colin, Bev, Clive, Jago, Chris and Nick

| Our accommodation |
Saturday was a beautiful sunny cold crisp day giving the prospect of a fine days outing. Clive opted for a short walk around the lake due to his ongoing knee problems. The rest of the party headed up the valley with sights set on an ascent of Grasmoor via Whiteside and Hopegill Head.

| View across Crummock Water to Mellbreak |
Heading up the path towards Whiteside gave us fantastic views back across the valley
The weather and views had the desired effect of taking our minds from the jet-lag effect of Christmas and New year excesses - well for some of us!

Still ascending!

From Hopegill Head we descended into Coledale Hause and where the path split we headed up towards Grasmoor which gave great views across to where we had come.

Grasmoor was to be our final top, from here we started our descent down Lad Hows ridge.

The ridge brought us down to Crummock Water where a 2k walk along the roadside took us to our start point.
A great start to the year.
