Despite appearances, this was a sunny day with a high enough air temperature that walking in a fleece jacket was a bit hot. However, even just after midday, the low winter sun doesn't reach this bit of the river, and the last bit of Wildscar Sike remains in the shade of Cronkley Scar. The frozen ground makes for less squelchy walking than is typical in warmer weather, though there are some icy rocks to negotiate along the river bank, so care is essential on this stretch of the Pennine Way.
