The Bassenthwaite fells. Sale fell, Broom fell, Lord's Seat & Barf 10.5miles 2850ft


Climbing up Sale Fell from St Margaret's Chapel, Wythop.

Looking northwest to the Cumbrian coast
with St Margaret's chapel

Now on top of Sale Fell with dark clouds ever present today over
the Derwent fells

Kelswick farm with Ling Fell behind

Crossing Wythop to Broom Fell on the horizon....

....looking back to Sale Fell

The very welcome summit shelter today on Broom Fell

The ridge leading onwards to Lord's Seat

Grisedale Pike through the rain from Lord's Seat

Dropping down to Barf Fell 

Looking back along the ridge to Broom Fell

The A66 Keswick to Cockermouth road alongside
Bassenthwaite lake

The southern end of Bassenthwaite
with Keswick in the mist behind

Descending into Beckstones Gill on the way to Braithwaite....

.... just in time for the bus that's going nowhere!
