A dump of snow overnight, followed by bright sunshine the next morning gave us a great day for a hike up Red Screes. Unfortunately, the bright sunshine didn't hold out all the way to the top of Red Screes, and it was pretty windy and very chilly by the time we got there. No views down to Brotherswater whatsoever. That was definitely a pity, as it's a lovely viewpoint otherwise. Anyway, we descended from there down to Scandale Head and back down the valley to Rydal and Ambleside. My friend Sue and I enjoyed a nice coffee at Esquires before taking in a nice sunset over Windermere on the walk back to the Briery Wood hotel.
