today's walk: Hen Comb


frosty at the start at Church Bridge below Kirkstile Inn


looking over frosty fields to Rannerdale Knotts from the start of the walk


heading up Mosedale towards Hen Comb


looking back down Mosedale to Darling Fell and Low Fell


Hen Comb ahead as the bridleway veers right into a boggy area fortunately fairly frozen today


an unexpected bridge over Mosedale Beck ensuring dry feet ..


.. since this is the old ford with Hen Comb reflected in the water


looking over the very boggy area at the head of Mosedale with Robinson beyond
