A very scenic walk on a great day.
Scales to Mungrisdale via Doddick fell, Blencathra, views of Sharp Edge, Bowscale fell & Bannerdale Crags - 9miles 3250ft
Setting off from Scales on the A66 near Keswick
Climbing up Doddick fell ridge with Scaley beck on the right
Looking back down part of the ridge with Combe Head of last week's
walk across the valley
Gaining height on the ridge
Doddick fell summit now in the foreground with Blencathra summit
behind
Zooming in on Sharp Edge across Scaley beck
Blencathra summit 2847ft today's highest point
Looking back down my route of ascent
The summit ridge of Blencathra with Derwentwater just visible in
the distance
Skiddaw also from the summit
Starting the descent to Scales tarn...
.... with Sharp Edge again above the tarn
Enjoying a drink and rest by the tarn before climbing up to Sharp
Edge

Looking along the start of the 'Edge'
Looking back to the Blencathra ridge from the path to Bowscale fell
I had lunch on Bowscale fell pictured here from the path as I
headed for Bannerdale Crags
