The Seathwaite fells Round, 10miles 3550ft

Another perfect day's walking in Lakeland                               
Arriving at the path over the dam at Seathwaite tarn after starting
from Seathwaite village in the Duddon valley

A panorama of the Scafell range....

.... with the summit cairn on Greyfriar pointing at Scafell Pike
England's highest mountain

The memorial on Great Carrs to the RAF crew that died in the
Halifax bomber crash during the war

The route ahead from Great Carrs - Swirl How,
Coniston Old Man and 
Dow Crag 

Levers Water with Coniston village below from Swirl How

Looking back to Seathwaite tarn and the Duddon valley

The route ahead to 'the Old Man'

Low Water from near the summit

Zooming in on Coniston village from the summit...

...and the view to Barrow and Walney Island

'The Old Man' is one of the most popular summits in Lakeland 

Dow Crag the next climb...

...after a lunch break above Goats Water

Goats Water again

Dow Crag summit

The gentle descent above Blind Tarn back down to Seathwaite
