Happy New Year!

Before the year 1752, New Year's Day was always on 25th March. Then they changed the calendar!
It did make sense to have the New Year starting in the Spring, rather than the middle of Winter as it does now!

However, back to today's blip! It's the Langdale Pikes taken from Holme Fell. The majesty and masculine strength of the Langdale front is itself quite enough to establish the fell as a firm favourite with all, even with those admirers who are content to stand on the road below and gape upwards, while for those who set forth to conquer, it provides a very worthy climb indeed! A. Wainwright

Holme Fell is just a 3 hour walk, even allowing for a picnic lunch and the taking of 47 potential blip photos! There are excellent views of Wetherlam, the Fairfield Horseshoe, Coniston Water etc etc. Look out for Herdwick sheep and Belted Galloway cattle too!

Have you spotted Chloe in the blip?
