Setting off from Dockray village, Ullswater

The start of the high level route to Glencoyne Head

Looking south down Ullswater towards Patterdale....

....and north to Pooley Bridge

Ullswater and Glencoyne from Glencoyne Head

Dark clouds threaten Kidsty Pike and the eastern fells 

Descending to the disused Glenridding quarries....

....and again

Helvellyn YHA down in Glenridding

Looking ahead to the path to Catstye Cam & Red tarn with Helvellyn completely hidden in cloud behind 


Red tarn with Striding Edge behind

Zooming in on the 'procession' along Striding Edge!

Starting the descent with a look back
at the still cloud enveloped Helvellyn.... 

....and to the north along the route already walked

Hardy campers near the 'Hole in the Wall'
at the start of Striding Edge  

The way ahead down into Grisedale

Zooming in on Patterdale village

Looking up Grisedale to St Sunday Crag
