Coledale, Hopegill Head and Whiteside. 11miles 2900ft


Walking up Coledale from the start in Braithwaite

Following a good path up to Coledale Hause

The disused Force mine workings at the head of the valley 

Passing the falls near the top of the hause

Looking back down the length of Coledale

Grasmoor fell 852m from Coledale Hause

A lone fell runner on today's high point of Hopegill Head 770m
(2526ft)

The way ahead to Whiteside.... 

....after a detour to Ladyside Pike....

...for a view of Hobcarton Crag....

....then continuing the ridge to Whiteside

Crummock Water comes into view from the ridge

Time for lunch looking back to Hopegill Head

 Crummock Water again whilst having lunch

Descending the ridge towards Loweswater....

....then a few miles down the valley to Low Lorton for the bus to
Keswick
