Grasmere, High Raise, Harrison Stickle Circular

WOW! That walk was something else! Think of the hardest walks, I’ve ever done! Mainly due to ice and snow! At least it give my new walking boots and jacket a good test!!

Also it’s first time Bugsy has ever done any real hill walking! He loved each and every minute of it!
