I mentioned the 'Heinz Dog' in a photograph recently, having a drum for his obvious day kennel. Here it is, it's all he needs in adverse weather conditions I suppose.
This was interesting as well, A barn really bulging with fleece from the sheep.
Tremendous amount of wool in there. I was surprised to see so much at this time of the year as well.
It might have been a second cut, I don't know enough about the 'shearing of sheep'.
Sensational view here as well. The other road you can see on the right hand side of the photograph leads to Blea Tarn and Great Langdale, if my memory serves me right.
There's quite an interesting page and additional information on this link as well.

It's only when you stand in these places and imagine how bleak they must be in the depths of winter, that you appreciate how dangerous it is to be caught out here without the appropriate clothing and additional gear. Numerous people have lost their lives in The Lake District over the years that I am am familiar with.
We couldn't help but notice and be aware of the various places along the roads that were in urgent need of attention and repairs as well.
Certainly not a great deal to be done, but with the road being so narrow and undulating it would be better done sooner, rather than later.
You wouldn't want to be running out of tea, milk and sugar if you lived out here, that's for sure.
Plenty of water though.
A fantastic spot though. Really special.
