Buttermere village to Lanthwaite

 Buttermere village to Lanthwaite via Whiteless Pike, Wandope, Grasmoor & Gasgale Gill 10miles 3300ft


Setting off from the parking area just outside Buttermere village, High Stile & Red Pike on the horizon


Looking south down the Buttermere valley from Whiteless Breast

Crummock Water with Loweswater behind from Whiteless Pike   summit 2165ft


Looking north to Grasmoor today's highest objective

The path ahead to Wandope 

The view back down the route so far

Now on Wandope summit 2533ft with mist still in the valleys to the

 east


Approaching Grasmoor summit 2791ft with Crummock Water at the

 bottom of Rannerdale Beck


 On the north face of Grasmoor are Dove Crags with some great views down to Gasgale Gill about 1000ft below


 Another view from the crags to Whiteside & Whiteside Crags over

Gasgale Gill


My lunch spot just above Coledale Hause with the prominent

Grisedale Pike on the horizon


 Descending Gasgale Gill with Whiteside ridge and crags above the

gill....


....with Dove Crags on Grasmoor now behind me

Emerging from Gasgale Gill to near the side of Crummock Water 

 I then took a short walk along the side Crummock Water to

Lanthwaite hamlet....


 ....where there was a Final view to Grasmoor End while waiting for

my transport back to Buttermere
