A circuit from Grasmere:

Steel Fell, Calf Crag, Sergeant Man & Blea Rigg. 11.5miles 3,300ft. A bitterly cold day with a -16c windchill recorded on the high fells, but a fantastic day's walking!

Starting the climb up Steel Fell leaving Grasmere village behind

Passing beneath Helm Crag with the Lion & Lamb summit rocks

The sun appears over Lord Crag after I've gained height....

....and now looking down on Helm Crag

Seat Sandal and Dollywagon Pike above Dunmail Raise  

The summit shelter on Steel Fell 1814ft with Thirlmere to the north and Skiddaw & Blencathra on the Horizon

Heading across the summit ridge from Steel Fell to Calf Crag

Looking back along the ridge from Calf Crag summit 1715ft with the snow capped Helvellyn range behind

Further climbing now to Sergeant Man. There was no snow on these fells today and their white appearance was from rime ice formed when tiny droplets of water in the atmosphere are suddenly turned very cold

Zooming in on the rime ice

Bow Fell from the summit of Sergeant Man. The Great Slab is clearly visible just below and left of the summit

Meet Roland from Staffodshire enjoying the views from the summit 2414ft

The descent to Grasmere took me along Blea Rigg passing above Stickle tarn....

....with great views over the rugged fells and misty valleys to the west

 Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle above Stickle tarn

Finally returning to Grasmere above Easedale  tarn before descending via the  Blind tarn Moss path
