The west ridge of the Kentmere Round from Troutbeck 10.5 miles 3000ft.

Leaving Limefitt Park Troutbeck, still in shadow, with the ridge walk behind. 

Gaining height towards the ridge

Looking over Troutbeck to the Coniston fells

Approaching Buck Crag on the ridge

Blue skies and ever deeper snow

Looking back south with Windermere just visible

Approaching Yoke 706m 2316ft

The Scafell range to the west

A lone fell runner.....

.....as she heads for Ill Bell, the next summit!

Kentmere reservoir to east of the ridge

The summit of Ill Bell (757m 2484ft) today's highest point

looking south back to Yoke

Looking across Kentmere to Mardale, Ill Bell and Harter fell

Zooming in on the Scafells with Mickledore gap between them 

Ill Bell from Froswick 720m 2362ft

Returning to Troutbeck down Hagg Gill


A last look back at the day's walk from (a now sunny) Troutbeck
