High Rigg and Keswick circular from Threlkeld 11.25m 2050ft ascent


Leaving the warmth of the bus in a very frosty Threlkeld 

The A66 crossing the river Greta with Lonscale fell
and Skiddaw above

Blencathra  summit catching the sun

High Rigg today's lowly objective with Helvellyn
in cloud to the left

Blencathra again from Low Rigg

Tewet Tarn with snowcapped Grizedale Pike behind

The little known but picturesque Tewet Tarn again

St. John-in-the-Vale church on the pass between the two valleys to
serve each valley equally 

 ......and again

Climbing High Rigg with Carlisle Diocesan Youth Centre below

Looking south to Thirlmere from the High Rigg summit cairn -
1163ft, 355m

Thirlmere and the central fells in cloud

The autumn colours seem to have lasted a long time this winter

Looking back at High Rigg from Naddle Beck

Derwentwater and the Coledale fells from the path to Walla Crag

Entering Keswick

'A bridge photo' with Grizedale pike framed behind

The stretch of tree-top walkway high above the river Greta

Following the old railway line back to Threlkeld

Spring's coming back in Threlkeld
