Shap to Pooley Bridge : 13miles 1750ft
Leaving Shap summit on a very murky grey morning, which didn't get much better!
The path circuits the edge of Shap quarry
I then descended into the Lowther estate to follow
the River Lowther
The path leaves the river to climb to Lowther Castle
Leaving the castle behind....
....I returned to the river....
....before climbing through the very attractive village of Askham.
Continuing over Heughscar Hill, the clouds just lifted enough to see
Ullswater with Hallin Fell the most prominent of the fells in view.
I then walked over 'Pooley Bridge', which spans the River Eamont as it flows out of Ullswater
After climbing Dunmallard Fell, on the other side of the bridge,
I passed the Ullswater steamer pier....
....and walked down it for another photo of Ullswater.
Returning over the very impressive single span,
stainless steel bridge.
Pausing by the River Eamont....
...where I found a definite sign of Spring being on the way!
