On the Gibson Knott ridge With less than two hours of daylight left it was an unexpected sight to see walkers still heading out along the ridge towards Calf Crag. I suspected they would be returning along Far Easedale in the dusk.

The ridge towards Helm Crag Looking along the broad lumpy ridge that undulates over Gibson Knott towards Helm Crag. As the altitude of the ridge declines the snow cover becomes increasingly sparse until it is almost gone by the final summit. Grasmere and the Vale of Grasmere are completely snow-free.
