Devoke Water to Ravenglass via Eskdale & Muncaster 11miles 2100ft
Looking from Birker fell into Upper Eskdale on a cold, grey morning.
Arriving at Devoke Water with Harter Fell & Green Crag now free of cloud on the horizon
Water Crag and Rough Crag which I'd just come over above
Devoke Water
Then the sun came out as I was near the summit of Rowantree How
Zooming in on my next objective Seat How
above the fisherman's hut
After the climb over Seat How it was a lovely place for a morning
break before leaving Devoke Water
I then started the descent into Eskdale
Looking into Eskdale down Hare Gill
Muncaster Castle was to come later after climbing Muncaster Fell
Crossing the River Esk....
....then up through the woods to....
Muncaster Tarn for a late lunch
A public footpath goes through the Muncaster estate
and passes the castle
These are the historic remains of Roman Bathhouse
outside Ravenglass, looks more like a 'mud bath' today
Bowness on Solway on the west coast & Wallsend on the east coast
were, like Ravenglass, Roman ports and forts and very long way from Rome!
Finally on Ravenglass seafront with a very wintery, watery sun
