A freezing walk up Sour Howes and Sallows

An Arctic weather system over the Lakes led to a couple of bitterly cold walks, the upside being the crystal clear views and cloudless blue skies. This walk up Sour Howes and Sallows was the coldest. Stopped in Troutbeck and the walk goes over Church Bridge and then onto the old Garburn Road which is a restricted byway. A stile leads onto the open fell which is followed up to Sour Howes summit, which isn’t easy to define amongst the lumpy summit area. A grassy walk around the head of the valley takes you to Sallows. From here it was a short walk on the frozen ground to the top of the Garburn Pass which I followed all the way back to Troutbeck, enjoying a coffee and cake in the Old Post Office Tea Rooms.
