Heavy rain in Lakeland this morning so, after a delayed start, a short but not too gentle stroll on a circuit of the Hartsop Fells.
The view up Pasture Beck with the circuit starting left to right. |
Looking back down the beck towards Hartsop village. |
Helvellyn (centre) and Catstye Cam (right) after gaining height on Gray Crag. |
Hayeswater with High Street on the horizon from the summit ridge of Gray Crag 699m 2293ft. |
Windermere comes into view from Threshthwaite Mouth.... |
....whilst Ullswater is seen in the opposite direction. |
The steep climb to Stony Cove Pike.... |
.... and the dizzy view down from half way up! |
The fells on the western leg of the Kentmere Round from the summit 763m 2503ft. |
Now at the summit cairn on Hartsop Dodd with Ullswater again in view. |
Brothers Water seen whilst descending the grassy ridge. |
The winding path down to Hartsop village. |
Zooming in on the village. |
A final look back to the ridge of Gray Crag, which started the walk. |
