You can see from this picture how cold it was by looking at the sides of the crevice cut out by the falls, which are coated with ice.
I have used a long exposure here to freeze the motion and to give a sense of the force of the water pouring over the rocks.
These images show the lower bridge below Aira Force in Matterdale. There was still some mist overhead mixed with the spray from the waterfall. The rock surfaces were extremely slippery and the path across the bridge was treacherous but braving the elements was certainly worth it given the wonderful photos that I captured.
