Summit Curves. - a photo on Flickriver

Summit Curves.

            Sunrise hits the final slopes of Place Fell. It was a fabulous morning to be high up above Ullswater to witness dawn. John Bleakley and I had set off in the dark with our head torches highlighting our way up the icy, snowy flanks of Place Fell.

It was quite invigorating treading a crunchy path through virgin snow and ice, in sub zero temperatures, to get to the top before the sun rose over the horizon. The conditions were just superb, it was so still! You could hear Owls and the odd bark of a distant dog down in the Valley bottom.

In fact just before we reached this point we startled a Fox, which bolted off across the frozen snow! God knows what it was existing on up here on the tops of this Fell.

I had to stop when I saw this view, as the "S" curve in the landscape looked quite dramatic. A Fell I'd never climbed before, rather favouring the more popular Peaks on the opposite side of Ullswater. But the views here across the valley and indeed all around, certainly will have me returning again soon!
