Fellside farm (Caldbeck) to Bassenthwaite village

Fellside farm (Caldbeck) to Bassenthwaite village 

via Roughton Gill, Knott fell, Little Calva fell and Dash falls. 10miles 2000ft


Setting off from Fellside farm with a forecast of rain and low

cloud!


There were many lambs in evidence on today's walk

Crossing Dale beck on the way up to Roughton Gill

The steep climb on the upper section of the gill

Looking back down the gill after climbing past the falls

Whilst getting close to Knock fell summit (2329ft) today's highest

point, the clouds descended and the rain came down....  


....until I headed down off Little Calva to Dash beck with Dead

Crags on Bakestall across the valley 


Now the rain had stopped I had lunch by Dash beck

I then followed the good track down the valley

The track descends alongside the Whitewater Dash waterfalls

Looking back up the valley to the falls with Little Calva rising to

the left


Zooming in on the col between Little Calva and Bakestall

Looking across to Ullock Pike with cloud still rising off Longside

edge


Finally entering the village of Bassenthwaite
