I intended walking the Coledale Round today but on reaching
Sail Pass and seeing the cloud cover on all the summits I intended to climb, I decided to stay on a lower level walk.
Sail Pass, Outerside, Stile End & Whinlatter Forest Park. 10miles 3000ft

| Leaving the car parked near the hamlet of Stair in Newlands |
 |
| Looking back down Stony Croft Beck |
 |
| Looking back down Coledale from near the top of Sail Pass |
Derwentwater and Keswick from the summit of Outerside with the
route ahead down the ridge |
The panorama view in the opposite direction where the summits of
the Coledale Round were all under cloud |
 |
| Looking back to Outerside and Stile End as I came down Coledale |
 |
| The village of Braithwaite below |
 |
| Bassenthwaite lake as I climbed up to the Whinlatter visitor centre |
 |
| The path winds up through some lovely scenery in the Forest Park |
 |
| ditto |
 |
| ditto |
Grisedale Pike with it's summit still in cloud and the path I
intended to come down if I'd continued with the Coledale Round |
The visitor centre includes a shop seen here but also has many
other attractions including a café, cycle hire & Go Ape amongst others |
 |
| 'm not sure what bird is shown here in this metal sculpture |
