Appleby to Barrow - Day 4 - Mungrisdale to Bassenthwaite village

Following the river Glendermackin into Bannerdale 

Bannerdale Crags at the head of the valley

Zooming in on the crags

Looking east back down Bannerdale

Blencathra, with a dusting of snow, appears as height is gained.

Sharp Edge now visible centre left

The wind shelter on Bowscale fell summit (702m 2,303ft) Blencathra still on the horizon

Looking west from the summit to the Skiddaw range......

.... and north-west to the Solway Firth

You are seldom alone on the summits!

Off the tops and lunch by the River Caldew, with no bridge to cross it!

Joining the Cumbria Way long distance walk for a couple of miles....

..... to the remote Skiddaw House YHA 

Following Dash Beck west with Binsey Fell centre and the Solway Firth on either side.

The top of  Dash Falls cataract

The Dash valley with the falls in the distance.

Outside Bassenthwaite village with 'Day 5' on the horizon!

Awaiting transport at the village green
