High Street ridge - Bampton to Mardale Head

Sunrise over the Lowther Valley near Bampton

Autumn colours catching the early morning light



Mist still hanging in the Lowther Valley

Haweswater dam from the start of the High Street ridge

My first sighting of deer on the high fells of the Lake District

Blencathra and Skiddaw to the north-west

Only a shadow of my former self - with Ullswater just visible now

Looking west from the ridge 

(l to r) Striding Edge, Helvellyn, Swirral Edge, Catstye Cam

Kidsty Pike with Haweswater just visible

High Street summit on Racecourse Hill

Zooming in on Kidsty Pike 
(The highest point on the Coast-to-Coast path)

Hayeswater looking down towards Patterdale

High Street summit trig point (828m: 2718ft)


Looking south (into the sun) to Windermere

Haweswater and Small Water

Small Water 

Small Water and Haweswater from Nan Bield pass

Not my idea of 'glamping' (beside Small Water)
