Garsdale Head

Catching the train from Kirkby Stephen on the Settle to Carlisle line....

.. alighting at Garsdale Head to walk back via Mallerstang

The viaduct at Garsdale Head

The upper River Ure at Garsdale

Zooming in back to Garsdale Head station across the valley

Heading for Hell Gill and the source of the river Eden

Looking back to Garsdale Head 

Hell Gill and the infant River Eden 
just below its source on Lunds Fell

Looking down  Mallerstang towards Kirkby Stephen..... 

.....and across Mallerstang to Wild Boar Fell

Crossing the now sizeable River Eden

Passing Lammerside Castle 
before climbing back to Kirkby Stephen railway station
