Hawes End to Rosthwaite via

Cat Bells and Kings How: 8miles 2900ft

No significant snow on the fells & rain forecast for the week ahead. Monday looked as good as it was going to get and apart from one short, sharp shower and strong winds it turned out ok.

Starting the climb up the ridge to Cat Bells with an early view to Keswick & Derwentwater

Looking over Newlands valley to Causey pike

The ridges leading up the Newland's fells

Bassenthwaite lake 

The view to Keswick from Cat Bells summit

Maiden Moor the next fell on the ridge but I'm not going that way today.... 

.....my path down to the valley with my next climb to King's How the dark peak above right of centre

Zooming in on the Abbot's promontory on Derwentwater

Passing through Grange in Borrowdale across the river Derwent

I'm not sure whether this is man-made or a natural shelter here in Troutdale

Looking back down to Grange from near King's How summit....

.....and flooded fields of Manesty at the bottom of Derwentwater

Lunch time just below the summit

Looking back to King's How 

The final descent to Rosthwaite
