Wythburn (Thirlmere) to Grasmere via Greenup Edge 11 miles 2400ft

                           

Looking back down the Wythburn valley towards Thirlmere

A sunny break in the cloud but thick cloud ahead to Greenup Edge

Arriving on Greenup Edge 2000ft having climbed through the cloud

...with views to Borrowdale...

...Glaramara and Fleetwith pike...

 ...and the Helvellyn range peeping above the cloud to the east

Great views too from today's highest point - High White Stones 762m 2500ft

...and again

Then on to Sergeant Man for views down to Stickle tarn (Langdales)

Stickle tarn again with Pavey Ark above

Next, crossing Blea Rigg to have lunch
looking down on Easedale 
tarn

Looking back at Easedale tarn

The route continued down Sourmilk Gill

..and again

...and it's waterfalls with a brave soul taking a dip below it

Looking back at falls from the walk into Grasmere

Finishing the walk at the Swan Hotel
