Struggling through an easterly on Langdale Knott Soft snow and a freezing easterly gale are making the easy slopes of Langdale Knott into something of a trial. At least the upward exertion maintains some bodily warmth.

Across Langdale Knott An easterly gale is blasting the summit (bare, exposed and no shelter). Beyond is the deep trench of Langdale, the longest and most remote of the valleys that penetrate the heart of the Howgill Fells.

Overlooking Langdale, the Howgill Fells A freezing easterly gale is sweeping across the exposed summits and so we have abandoned our plan to continue onto West Fell. Unfortunately, we now face a very steep descent into Langdale via a scree gully and grass slopes covered in slippery powder snow.

Langdale, the Howgill Fells Having abandoned our plan to gain the ridge above we decided to descend into Langdale and make our way out. The easterly winds have deposited soft snow on the steep slope and in the scree gully making progress slow and tricky. Langdale is the longest and most remote of the Howgill valleys and few walkers come this way.

Walking down Langdale The dale is much more sheltered than the exposed summits a few hundred metres above which are being blasted by freezing easterly winds. A thin trod, probably formed by sheep and fell ponies leads above Langdale Beck towards the junction with Great Nevy Gill ahead.
