| Looking back down Miterdale |
 |
| After parking at Eskdale Green, the walk begins through Miterdale. |
 |
| The path passes the remote and atmospheric Burnmoor tarn... |
 |
| ...and again |
 |
| The cloud now rising steadily off Lingmell and Great Gable... |
 |
| ...and the sun now shining on Wasdale Head from the climb up the ridge |
 |
| The head of Waswater appears from the edge of the ridge |
 |
| Sellafield atomic energy plant on the Cumbrian coast |
 |
| Illgill Head summit 609m (2000ft) today's high point |
 |
| The views are dramatic from the 2000ft shear drop to Waswater below... |
 |
| ...and again |
 |
| ...and again to the western end of the lake |
 |
| ..and Yewbarrow and Kirk fells |
 |
| The main ridge is pitted with deep gullies and minor ridges... |
 |
| ...all the way to Whin Rigg on the western end |
 |
| A section of the screes come into view... |
 |
| ...and the great views continue... |
 |
| again... |
 |
| ...before reaching the end with a view of Ravenglass and the estuary of the rivers Esk, Mite and Irt |
 |
| The final descent through Miterdale forest |
