Looking up to Blencathra behind Threlkeld....

....and ahead to today's first climb Clough Head

Halfway up the scree path on Clough Head, Coledale fells and

Derwentwater on the horizon 

Zooming in on the Coledale fells and Derwentwater 

Skiddaw & Bassenthwaite from the very welcome wind shelter on

Clough Head summit 

Thirlmere was in view as I continued to Calfhow Pike

Looking back to Clough Head and Calfhow Pike from the Old Coach

Road to Ullswater 

The Old Coach Road provides easy walking with some lovely views....

....before arriving at the village of Dockray

Aira Beck flows through Dockray where the Aira Force waterfalls

start

Paths follow both sides of the beck and there are frequent crossing

points 

Looking straight down from one of the bridges....

 ....and back along the deep gorge

 Finally finishing close to the shore of Ullswater.

A great day's walking but a rather grey day with very high winds on the summits
