Appleby to Barrow - Day 5 - Bassenthwaite to Keswick


Looking back at Bassenthwaite village at the start of the day


Zooming in on the village church by the A591


Southerndale with Ullock Pike the first objective 


The view from Ullock Pike across to Newlands valley with the central fells and Wasdale fells on the horizon.... 


.. and below to Dodd where the Osprey viewpoints are.... 


... and back along the ridge with Bassenthwaite lake just visible.....


...and ahead along Long Side Edge 734m (2408ft) to Skiddaw 931m (3054ft)


Zooming in on the Scree Path to Skiddaw summit


Skiddaw summit from Carl Side summit 746m(2447ft)


Skiddaw Little Man 865m (2837ft) before descending to Keswick


The 'Coledale Round' fells across the valley


Derwentwater and Keswick lie ahead....


.....and nearer after the steep descent.


Carl Side, Skiddaw and Skiddaw Little Man from outside Keswick


Where better to finish but Wetherspoons, for a glass of Ennerdale Blonde!
