Exploring the fells around High Street - Haweswater,     9miles 2800ft 

Setting off from Mardale Head on the climb to Blea Water. Haweswater  reservoir was somewhat depleted but nothing like as much as those  in Yorkshire 

Arriving at the outflow from Blea Water with the High Street ridge climbing to the right

Looking back to Blea Water on reaching the Riggindale ridge

Zooming in on two of the islands in Haweswater

Now you see me......

.....Now you don't!

Haweswater and Riggindale from Mardale Ill Bell

After crossing to the west side of the High Street ridge I had views to the central fells - here showing Fairfield....

.....and here cloud rising from Helvellyn

Looking down on Hayes Water as opposed to Haweswater!

High Street and the Straights of Riggindale....

....and then to Kidsty Pike the last climb of the day 

Where I met Nico from Nuremberg - Germany, who was on his fourth day of walking the Coast to Coast Path. "Nice to meet you Nico and good luck with the rest of the walk"

Part of the steep descent from Kidsty Howe to Haweswater

Meet Charlie from London - another Coast to Coaster! "Good luck with the rest of the walk Charlie, should be a bit easier on the knees from here on!"  

Looking back up Riggindale
