Nice to be able to reuse the map from the last time we were at lake Mavis. Funnily enough, I wasn’t expecting to find it quite as easy as last time, but actually it was fine. Unsure why! Nice enough walk in, if busy, as there were quite a lot of people out practising for the Coast to Coast race (early Feb)
Saw these guys on the way up..
And, submitted again to naturewatch. I do love that website :)
Anyway, I don’t think either of us were expecting snow on the tops, or the lake to be icy.. but it sure was. Definitely a different experience from the last time we were there.
The walk down is always a fun one, but the knees didn’t complain that much. I can strongly recommend walking poles for making life a bit easier with heavy packs.
So all in all a lovely walk for the weekend.. it’s nice having such beautiful places only an hour and a bits drive away (ok, and a 6-7 hour walk uphill ;)
