On Location 15th Jan 2021 The forecast looked promising so an early breakfast was taken before I headed down to our local town of Barnard Castle here in County Durham. The previous day had seen a decent amount of snowfall and overnight a hard frost had crisped everything up. Driving…

A new film on You Tube Armboth Fell in the central region of the lake district has a bit of a reputation. And it’s not a good one….it is wet, very wet. In this new film I take a walk over not only Armboth Fell but also its near neighbour,…
