In reply to Wesley Orvis:
Same for me yesterday, it's why I love this time of year in the Lakes and make the effort to get there every week throughout the winter. If you avoid the honeypots you can get miles of open Fell and crags to yourself. I walked Angle Tarn Pikes, Rest Dodd, The Nab, The Knott, Rampsgill Head, High Raise and Kidsty Pike yesterday and only seen one person above Hayeswater all day and even then they were standing on a ridge two valleys over (Gray crag). Saying that though, for a time on the summits the weather was dire it tested the navigation properly for awhile in a white out, falling snow and stongs winds.
The other thing that shocked me I didn't realise the Lake District Red Deer herds consisted of so many animals. Never seen so many in one day.
