The Lakeland Fells under snow

I don't normally go walking in deep snow as I don't have the ice axe or crampons required or the desire to learn how to use them, but on this walk I came perilously close to overstepping the mark while walking over the Lake District Fells while they were covered in deep snow. Although nothing went wrong I learnt an important lesson that day and I have been extra cautious of snow on mountains ever since. The weather was generally cloudy but towards the end of the day the clouds broke slightly for this view of the Langdale Pikes.
