From a recent wander down to Ullswater. End of the day clearing skies provided some lovely light over the Helvellyn range and great reflections. PS I nearly packed up and went home, patience and cold hands sometimes pays off

Looking across Torren Lochan near Glencoe with two of the three sisters of Glencoe with a dusting of snow

The lochan may be familiar to fans of the Harry Potter films, as it was one of the filming locations for Hagrid's Hut in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Today's little climb was up on to Creag an Tuirc (The Boars rock) looking down Loch Voll at Balquidder, Scotland. The meeting place of Clan Maclaren and burial place at the church of Rob Roy Macgregor. Bit muddy and the drizzle kept off.

Always great to pop over to Holy Island and Lindisfarne Castle and have a wander, visit a coffee shop and consume cake. The light wasn't really playing today but the sun did come out for a few picoseconds.

A still calm January day looking down Ullswater in the Lake District. A small steamer boat is about to arrive at Howtown on Ullswater to drop visitors and walkers off to complete their lakeside walks
