Bridgend (Patterdale) to Glenridding 

Via: Deepdale, Greenhow End, Fairfield, Cofa Pike, Grisedale Tarn, Grisedale & Lanty's Tarn. 11miles 3000ft    

Starting the walk into Deepdale after parking on the roadside in Bridgend. Hart Crag & Dove Crag on the horizon

Crossing Coldcove beck as the sun appears in the dale

Looking back at Deepdale Hall with Boredale Hause & Place fell on the horizon

Zooming in on Greenhow End in the foreground today's first objective....

....and again reflected in the pool

Greenhow End is reached via this 'The Step' which leads up to....

....the great view down Deepdale from the summit

Looking across the Eastern fells from the ridge path

Looking back to Greenhow End from the path to Fairfield....

.....and a closer look!

Arriving on Fairfield summit with a view to Great Rigg & Heron Pike leading down to Ambleside & Windermere

Fairfield summit 2864ft with the first walkers I've met so far today

Leaving the summit for the short descent to Cofa Pike....

....which affords great view of Grisedale tarn....

....and St Sunday Crag

Lunch time by Grisedale tarn....

....before descending into Grisedale

Place fell on the horizon as I progressed down the dale....

....followed by a short climb to Lanty's tarn....

.....and lovely place to rest with a view of Ullswater

The final descent into Glenridding for my lift back to Bridgend

A magnificent day on the high fells in perfect weather with some dramatic mountain scenery!
