I woke about 5.30 and decided to stay in bed and keep warm. Later (still under the duvet) I switched the radio on and heard that the temperature in Carlisle was -7°C. I popped downstairs, turned the heating on, made a hot drink and went back to bed for another hour.

There was an inversion again . . . I knew because on occasion I caught a glimpse of Wansfell from the house. Late morning I walked up the Sweden Bridge path for some photos.
