Ullswater : A circuit of Beda Fell & Angle Tarn Pikes  from Martindale, returning along the Ullswater Way - 10.5 miles 2950ft

Parking up by the side of Howegrain beck in Martindale

A bench with a view of Ullswater soon after the start  of the climb up Beda fell, but bit too soon to sit down yet 

A little higher and more of Ullswater can be seen 

Looking back down the route of the walk so far, Hallin fell beyond the end of the ridge 

Arriving at the cosy little wind shelter on Beda fell summit 1670ft

Some of the views from the summit.... Fairfield and St Sunday Crag with Boredale Hause in the foreground.....

.....High Street on the horizon with The Nab and Rest Dodd in foreground.....

....The flat summit of Helvellyn with Striding & Swirral Edges leading to its summit.

A mile and half and some futher climbing and I arrive at the summit cairn on Angle Tarn Pikes.  

Zooming in on the tarn of the same name

The descent to Ullswater follows the Coast to Coast path with views down to Brotherswater and Kirkstone Pass.....

.....and the village of Patterdale.....

.....Zooming in on Ullswater with Glenridding village

.....still following the Coast to Coast path.... 

.....until joining the Ullswater Way at lunch time looking across the lake to Glenridding

One of the lake steamers at Glenridding landings on the far side of the lake 

Continuing on the Ullswater  Way for the walk back to Martindale

Glencoyne across the lake with Stybarrow Dodd at its head

My path continued along the lake before turning in to return to Martindale at Sandwick Bay. 

Some tough climbing today but a great walk on a lovely day
