Alcock tarn then Coniston Water on the horizon

Crinkle Crags (L.Centre,) Landale Pikes,(Centre)
Bow fell in cloud

Is this Earth or another planet?

Grasmere and Coniston Water again

Approaching Fairfield summit still in cloud

The view from Rydal Head down a perfect glacial valley 

Looking back to Great Rigg as the cloud lifts....
