Catstye Cam from Patterdale

A New Year's Eve Walk - 8.5 miles 2760ft  - 
A perfect finale to a grand year of walks 
Looking back to the start in Patterdale from the climb
to 
the 'Hole in the Wall'

Zooming in on a frosty scene around Grisedale Beck bridge

Catstye Cam in the sun with Helvellyn behind
from the 'Hole 
in the Wall' 

Red tarn with Striding edge leading to Helvellyn

It looks like one of these brave or perhaps foolish walkers had more sense and turned back on Striding edge!

Starting the path up to Swirral edge before....

....turning to the north on the ridge to Catstye Cam summit 890m (2920ft) 

The view from the summit along the ridge to Swirral Edge and Helvellyn summit 950m

Ullswater from the summit

Catstye Cam summit as the descent begins

Ullswater again from Birkhouse Moor 718m (2356ft)

Patterdale from the Moor and....

....Glenridding ferry landing....

 ....and Place Fell....

....and High Street on the horizon

A final look back up Grisedale before descending to Patterdale
