Little Town (Newlands) to Buttermere village

Little Town (Newlands) to Buttermere village 10miles 3000ft - 

Little Town to Robinson via Dale Head                      

Heading towards up the Newland fells from Little Town

My car parking area in the Newlands valley

Dale Head now in view with my route starting the climb up the faint

path on the grassy bank to the Right. It then continues heading left along the grassy shelf just below the summit, then left to right along the ridge.

Copper was mined in the Newlands fell over 100yrs ago and the mine holes can be seen above the screes over the valley. 

Zooming in on some the mines

Ruins of a miner's hut above the valley

Crossing the grassy shelf just below the summit

Arriving at the rather grand summit cairn 2473ft

The way ahead towards Robinson, Buttermere now just in view
