Lake District/Bowland weekend

We had a brief 24-hour trip to the Lakes/North Lancashire this weekend. I managed a quick run up Clougha Pike, on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, from Jubilee Tower on the Saturday. About 30 mins to the top and back, frost and some snow preventing me from plunging into too many bogs. Conditions were grimmish. We went to Langdale the next day, the first visit for some years for me. Weather not ideal, but it cleared throughout the day. Morgan and I had a brief walk contouring the valley side as the mist cleared from the Pikes to reveal some snow, but not much (considering the amount on Halkyn mountain, Saturday morning: knee deep in places). I also had a quick run along the bridleways.
